Firefighter to raise money by wearing full gear in fitness competition

An Island firefighter will be taking part in a fitness competition whilst wearing full gear, including breathing apparatus and oxygen tank.

Daniel Maddocks plans to complete a hyrox event in Manchester, a race which combines running with workouts like sled pushing and ski training machines. 

The Ramsey fireman has already raised over £550 for Macmillan Cancer Support, the Fire Fighters Charity and the Great North Air Ambulance Service. 

The event will take place on Thursday, January 22 - you can find out more and donate here.
