Follow That Fire Engine

This Sunday (18th July), a group of 22 friends will set out on a mission to set the Guinness World Record for the longest emergency call out!

FOLLOW THAT FIRE ENGINE (FTFE), an expedition led by Steve Moore, will leave London on July 18th to travel across five continents, visit 28 countries and cover 26,000 miles over a nine month period.

FTFE is dedicated to the memory of Steve’s father, Garth Moore, a Fire Fighter who died of lung-cancer this time last year. The goal is to raise money and awareness for three charities: Macmillan Cancer Support, The Fire Fighters Charity & Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation. All funds raised will go directly to the charities, with the crew stumping up their own cash for shipping, fuel and living expenses.

Skype are stepping in to help cut costs by providing the crew with two mobile phones, an HD Webcam, Headset & Skype account with pre-loaded credit. With this, they will be able to keep in touch with their family and friends throughout the journey.
