24 Hours, 24 Workouts: Penzance Firefighters Honour Dave Thomas with WOD-A-THON

Fundraiser to Support Late Firefighter’s Family and Charity

Penzance Community Fire Station is set to host a 24-hour fitness challenge in memory of Dave Thomas, a Penzance local and firefighter in the London Fire Brigade, who sadly passed away in November. The event, known as WOD-A-THON, will run from 1pm on 15th March to 1pm on 16th March at Penzance Fire Station, raising funds for Dave’s family and The Fire Fighters Charity.

Non-Stop Fitness for a Good Cause

The WOD-A-THON will feature one workout per hour for 24 hours, with a £5 entry per workout. Participants can take part in as many workouts as they like, while spectators are encouraged to come along, show support, and donate.

Alongside the workouts, there will be a car wash, coffee, and burgers available, making it an event for the whole community to get involved in.

Car Wash and Family-Friendly Fun

The event isn’t just for fitness enthusiasts—families and kids are also welcome to join in. Fire engines will be on display, offering children the chance to get up close to the fire trucks. A charity car wash will run during the following times:

🚗 13:00 – 16:00 on 15th March
🚗 10:00 – 13:00 on 16th March

How to Get Involved

Anyone interested in participating in the workouts can sign up by emailing Michelle Turner. Spectators are welcome to attend, donate, and support those taking part.

This fundraiser is supported by CrossFit Penzance and The Fire Fighters Charity, ensuring a strong show of community spirit for a much-loved local firefighter.

Don’t miss out—whether you’re sweating through a workout, grabbing a burger, or getting your car washed, every effort counts towards honouring Dave and supporting his family.
