Firefighters raise £2.4k for charity with Six Peaks challenge

Isle Listen and The Fire Fighter's Charity to benefit

A group of Manx firefighters have raised more than £2000 for charity after undertaking the gruelling Six Peaks Challenge.

It involves climbing each of the six highest peaks in the UK, Ireland and Isle of Man over the course of six days.

The team; Sam Quilleash, Elliott Moore, Amber Carridge, presented the cheque for £2428 at a ceremony at Douglas Fire Station last night (Wednesday, 20 December).

"We were just laughing the whole time, and the hardest part was actually travelling between the peaks!" - Amber Carridge, Firefighter.

The money will go towards Isle Listen and The Fire Fighter's Charity.

Emma Callin from Isle Listen explained just how far the money will go:
