Adam Boyd raising money for Heroes on the Water and The Firefighters Charity

A firefighter from the Isle of Man will attempt to do 2,977 burpees on Thursday, which represents each life taken on 11 September 2001. 

Adam Boyd is also aiming to raise funds for two charities, Heroes on the Water and The Fire Fighters Charity.
