London firefighter and winner of BBC3 reality challenge show ‘Last Man Standing’, Wolé Adesemoye, took on the “might” of Whizz-Kidz staff at a friendly tug of war this week.

The fun and games were (absolutely) no challenge to Wolé, who flies to New York this weekend to take part in the New York Marathon for Whizz-Kidz.
To win ‘Last Man Standing’ Wolé defeated five other athletes, travelling around the globe to take part in eight different traditional sports. He is also an amateur boxer and runs his own fitness training company, and is always looking for new ways of challenging himself “mentally and physically”.

We’re confident that he'll run a great Marathon, and his fundraising is going fantastically too.

My Hippo Powered chair enables me to get myself to school, have days out, and I can now see over fences and through windows! I can also recline the chair when I need a rest!
