Four members of the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service will be running in next month's Storming the Castle 10K in Carrickfergus in their full fire kit, weighing in at just over 15kgs
A group of firefighters are set to take on the extra ordeal of running a 10k race wearing their full fire kit to raise money for a local boy suffering from cancer.
Since Ollie’s diagnosis, community efforts as part of Ollie’s Army have seen hundreds of pounds raised in support of the young boy’s family. Fellow firefighter Jeanna Robb added: "While we have been involved in many fundraising initiatives, we have never tried anything like this before and plan to run in our full fire kit which will be a big challenge.
"We know many of them will be running for good causes including representatives from our local charities Carrick Connect and CHILL . We are delighted they have chosen STC10K and wish them all and indeed everyone running for good causes all the very best in their fundraising efforts.
