BBC’s Fitz gets fit - with the help of Hospiscare

BBC Radio Devon presenter David FitzGerald will be taking part in the Hospiscare Men’s Walk this month as part of his intense health and fitness campaign.

FitzGerald, who presents the interactive lunch, has been challenged by the BBC’s ‘Inside Out South West’ to take on a new healthier lifestyle. The DJ, who had been a stranger to exercise untill recently,  has decided to walk the 10 kilometer route for the local charity as part of his new fitness regime.

To the listeners of his show David FitzGerald is better known for his love of food then his active lifestyle, but has recently become fully committed to getting fit and healthy, which is being closely documented for ‘Inside Out’.

When asked if he was apprehesive about the walk David said “It will be a challenge but I have surprised myself with how much I’ve enjoyed getting fit, I’m really looking forward to being part of the great atmosphere on the day, men together doing something fun for a great local charity.”

The 2013 men’s walk starts and finishes at the home at the Exeter chiefs and is followed by a well earned pint and a pasty. Walkers will then get to watch the England vs Wales match on the big screens. When asked why he had choosen to raise money for Hospiscare David said “The Hospice is an amazing place, I know that every penny I raise will go to great use”.
