A FIREFIGHTER from Salisbury will be tackling the Bristol half marathon dressed in full firefighting kit and breathing apparatus for the Ronald McDonald House Charity and the Fire Fighters Charity.

Alex Hardisty, along with Trowbridge-based Steve Taylor and Richard Thwaites, undertook the challenge after Mr Taylor’s nephew received support from the charity following complex heart surgery.

Mr Taylor said: “Over the last ten years, my nephew Ethan has undergone numerous heart operations, and the help and support my family has received from Ronald McDonald House in that time has made our lives so much easier.”
