Happy to report that despite the heat and hills, Leeds Marathon in firekit and BA to support @firefighters999 was a success, beating my 7 hour target with a time of 6:56:04! @NorthYorksFire @theyorkmix @BBCYork @yorkpress

Good training session last night for Leeds Marathon. 15 miles done, leaving just a 20 miler to do before the big day!

My #thefirefighterscharity challenge 2024 is official, and will be a return to the marathon in fire kit and carrying BA, this time at the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon in May.

The accolade of first donor is available for anyone who wants it! 🤣 https://t.co/NVjp4a2eJ6

Last week I did this year's Firefighters Charity challenge - 40k for 40 hours straight, it was tiring!

The army I built for it will be raffled today, if anyone would still like to support the event and/or enter the raffle, please follow this link! https://t.co/RczB0gOTod

@louisbarabbas Most of the best ones are!

Another training session in firekit and BA in preparation for Tad10, gradually increasing the distance. 8.4km today, but boy, was it hot out there?!

Another horrible challenge for the Firefighters Charity! 🤣

[Will Jones @ff__jones]

Tad10 training session today, 5km in fire kit and BA. With a nice 'personal' non-physical challenge for The Firefighters Charity planned to give my body a rest this year, I've somehow still ended up with a 10 miler in firekit and BA in the calendar! 🤣

Really good advice 👍

Very proud to say I spent my evening last Tuesday receiving a Chief Fire Officer's Commendation of Merit from @NYFRS_JD. Very unexpected, and not the reason I decided to do any of my fundraising challenges, but a really nice evening and something I am proud of nonetheless!

Top birthday present award for yesterday goes to my mum with this canvas of #firefighterscharity #londonmarathon memories to go on the wall with my medal.

It was horrible on the day (and for about 2 weeks afterwards) but looking back it feels pretty good!

Unbelievably awful, thank you for your service, rest in peace.

Firefighter Barry Martin suffered serious injuries while responding to a serious and complex building fire in Edinburgh yesterday.

Barry, 38, remains in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and is in a critical condition.

Our thoughts are very much with Barry and his family at this time.
