A firefighter is embarking on a unique challenge at the London Marathon to support a cause close to his heart.
Garry Maybanks, a firefighter from Manchester, is gearing up to run the London Marathon on April 23.
However, he won't just be running the 26-mile route like the thousands of other participants; Garry will be completing the race in full firefighting gear, including breathing apparatus, weighing over 20kg.
