East Coast Breakfast meets a true hero

Mark Basson has been involved in the EMS industry for almost 10 years, where he started out as a volunteer firefighter. He then volunteered on ambulances to get medical experience.

His passion for saving lives has now taken him on a new path. He wants to become an Advanced Life Support Paramedic and Rescue specialist. This has always been a dream of his. 

Mark's explained to the East Coast Breakfast team why he needed to take on this new challenge:

After listening to what Mark had to say, Darren and Sky weren’t convinced that the challenge was manly enough. They honestly thought they could do the 10km race with their eyes closed. 

Natarah took them on and told them they should put their money where their mouths are and threw down an epic contest.

Outside the studio, Mark helped Nats set up her challenge: a mini obstacle course. Both Darren and Sky had to complete it wearing Mark’s full fireman’s kit, which weighs around 30kgs!

Who made it to the finish line first, Darren or Sky?
