A fire officer in West Sussex is set to embark on a 30-mile sea kayaking challenge.
Dave Bray, head of protection for West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service, will paddle between Bognor Regis and Worthing piers and back in under 10 hours on August 15 to raise funds for The Fire Fighters Charity.
Mr Bray is aiming to raise £500 for the charity, which provides lifelong support to firefighters, support services and their families.
Donations can be made via his JustGiving page: justgiving.com/page/david-bray-1.

He said: "I am in my 28th year with the fire and rescue service and it has been a few years since I last undertook a charity challenge.
"I thought the onset of a significant birthday would be a good excuse to prove that I can still push myself mentally and physically.
"The challenge will test both my physical endurance and mental resilience, navigating a demanding stretch of coastline while maintaining a fast pace.
"The Fire Fighters Charity does incredible work supporting firefighters and their families through some of the most challenging periods of their lives, which is why I'm proud to take on this challenge and help raise funds to support their vital work."
