A LICHFIELD firefighter is taking on a marathon challenge for charity.
Luke Zanin will take on the 26-mile run to support Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service’s efforts to raise money for the Fire Fighters Charity.
The 26-year-old member of the on-call crew at Lichfield Community Fire Station, said he was looking forward to testing himself during the event in April.
“I was thinking about my next challenge and thought that this coincided nicely with being able to be a part of this fantastic effort to raise £50,000 this year.
“I’m keen on challenging myself and have taken part in a lot of physical challenges over the years, soI thought running this marathon next year would not only be a great opportunity for a new challenge but also raise money for a good cause like the Fire Firefighters Charity, especially as we’re aiming to raise money for them as a service.”
Luke also works as part of the fire service’s specialist falls team which helps people back on their feet when they don’t need hospital treatment.
People can support Luke’s effort through his online fundraising page.
