| Justin Rowe received medal for the fundraising activities undertaken for a number of charities |
Watch Manager Justin Rowe from Malton fire station has received the BEM (British Empire Medal) in the 2016 New Year’s Honours List, for the fundraising activities he’s undertaken for a number of charities.
This includes a mammoth run undertaken in 2013, which saw Justin and a number of his colleagues run to all the 225 fire stations in New York City over 7 days.
Justin says: “I would like to thank everyone who has supported my runs and fundraising activities in the UK and USA, including the Tunnel 2 Towers Foundation and Fire Department City of New York (FDNY), and North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service.”
“I’m not hanging up my running shoes just yet though, as I am planning more runs in the UK and the USA supporting various charities in the near future.”
