This year, I’m taking on the London Landmarks Half Marathon and the TCS London Marathon — running both in full fire service kit — to raise money for The Fire Fighters Charity.

I’m a serving London firefighter, and every day I see the physical and mental demands this job places on us. Firefighters face extreme conditions, traumatic incidents, long hours, and sustained physical strain — and The Fire Fighters Charity is there to support us when we need it most. They provide vital rehabilitation, mental health support, and recovery services to firefighters and their families across the UK.

I’m funding this challenge myself, so 100% of donations will go directly to The Fire Fighters Charity. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps ensure firefighters get the support they deserve when they’re injured, struggling, or recovering.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, for donating if you’re able, and for supporting firefighters past and present. Your support will help firefighters when they need it most.
