Telford Community First Responder (CFR) Becky has taken on the challenge of a cold water swim every day in February to raise money for the Telford Community First Responders Scheme.
After smashing her original target of £500, Becky is now hoping to raise a total of £1000 for the scheme as she battles water temperatures below 10c.
Community First Responders volunteer their time to support WMAS crews by responding to the most critically ill patients in order to provide life-saving medical aid, in often time critical situations. CFR Schemes are entirely self-funded and rely on donations for the community in order to operate.
About the challenge Becky said: “It feels amazing to have raised my original target and all the support has been spurring me on.
“Temperatures have been rather chilly ranging from 4.5c – 7.5c depending on where I’ve been swimming.
“Trying to raise the additional £500 for the scheme is certainly keeping me going as I reach the final days of this challenge.
“Thank you to everyone who has donated so far, it really means a lot!”
