A Scottish firefighter who feared his arm may need to be amputated just six months after joining the service is set to run in the Edinburgh Marathon.
Piotr Gudan had been with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service as an on call firefighter for a mere six moths when he was dealt the crushing blow following a cycling accident.
The dad-of-one, from Poland, moved to Blairgowrie in 2014 where he is now settled with his wife. Piotr joined the fire service during the same year and began to respond to emergencies via a pager system.
