🚨 THE 24 in 24 CHALLENGE – WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT 🚨
My husband is taking on the toughest challenge of his life — and is doing it for something far greater than a title.
On Saturday 13th September, hell attempt to set a second official World Record by completing 24 Firefighter Challenge races in 24 hours, one every hour, wearing full firefighting gear and under air. It’s called the “24 in 24 Challenge”, and it's designed to push the absolute limits of physical endurance, mental strength, and resilience.
Race consists of:
1. Sprint Out 50m
2. Collect Cleveland Hose Spint back 50m
3. RTC Tool Carry 5m
4. Keiser Force Machine
5. 50m Hose Drag
6. Hose Make Up 25m
7. 4x 20kg Foam Container Carry 10m
8. 70kg Dummy Drag 50m
But this isn’t just about breaking records.
This is about honouring heroes and supporting families left behind after unthinkable loss.
This challenge is dedicated to:
🖤 Jennie Logan (30)
🖤 Martyn Sadler (38)
🖤 David Chester
Jennie and Martyn were two brave firefighters who tragically lost their lives battling the devastating fire at Bicester Motion. David was a local business owner and father of two who also lost his life in that same tragic event.
In their memory, he’s raising funds for The Fire Fighters Charity, an incredible organisation that provides lifelong support to serving and retired fire and rescue personnel, as well as their families. They offer physical rehabilitation, mental health support, financial advice, and help families navigate life after the unimaginable — including the loss of a loved one in the line of duty.
Every rep, every race, every breath under air is a tribute to those we’ve lost — and a commitment to those they leave behind.
🔥 I’m calling on the community — individuals, brands, businesses — to join me in this mission. Whether through donations, sponsorships, or simply spreading the word, your support will make a real, lasting difference.
Let’s honour the fallen, support the living, and show what the firefighting and wider community is truly capable of.
