Steve’s fundraiser for Fire Fighters Charity

Steven Behan is raising money for Fire Fighters Charity

London Marathon 2026 · 26 April 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Fire Fighters Charity provides care and support to the UK’s fire family. It helps with any health and wellbeing challenges firefighters, control staff, and everyone working in – or retired from – the UK’s fire services, as well as their families, may face - during and after service

Story

On 26 April 2026 I’ll be running the London Marathon to raise money for The Fire Fighters Charity.

I’ll be completing the 26.2 miles in full fire kit, wearing a breathing apparatus set, and under air for the entire run.

I won’t be treating this as a fun run. I’ll be aiming to complete the distance in the best time I’m capable of!

I’ve been a firefighter for nearly 22 years and have seen first-hand the impact this charity has on firefighters and their families. From life-changing injuries and illness to the mental toll of the job, they consistently provide support when it’s needed most.

This is my way of giving something back and helping ensure that support continues.

Any support is genuinely appreciated — donations, shares, or words of encouragement all help.
