London Marathon Runner Training with Fridge Stopped by Police

Daniel Fairbrother aims to break world record and raise funds for Diabetes UK.

  • Daniel Fairbrother, a London Marathon runner, was stopped by police during his training because he was carrying a fridge on his back.
  • The police initially suspected Fairbrother of stealing the appliance, but the confusion was cleared up after he explained his challenge.
  • Fairbrother is attempting to break the world record for the 'fastest marathon carrying a household appliance (white goods)'.
  • He is running with a fridge to raise £10,000 for Diabetes UK in support of his friend who lives with the condition.
  • The fridge, named 'Tallulah' after the bobsleigh in Cool Runnings, is an awkward size and heavy, making the challenge even more difficult.
