Story
I am hoping to break a Guinness World Record at the London Marathon on April 23rd 2017 under the category ‘fastest marathon in film costume - female’.
I have wanted to attempt a Guinness World Record for some time, inspired by my 3 boys fascination of them. They challenged me, Mum why don’t you to try break a world record? I now have finally the opportunity to make this a possibility.
My costume has been verified and approved by Guinness World Record, now all that remains is training and fundraising...
Most importantly, I am making the world record attempt on behalf of the Scout and Guide group in Burley in Wharfedale, raising money for their new hut appeal.
Helen Haskins from the Burley Scout and Guide HQ fundraising group has said "We are really excited with the support from 'Wonder Woman' Rebecca and wish her all the best with her training. Thanks to the generosity of local people and the hard work of all our fundraisers, the group has raised over £180,000 to date and is nearly half way to its target of £400,000 for the new HQ ".
The present building was built in 1968 and is now too small for our needs as well as having very inadequate insulation, toilet facilities, storage and weatherproofing. The plan is that the new larger building will also be available for community use, when not in use by the Scouts and Guides.
I hope to break the current world record of 3:44:18 on behalf of the Scout and Guide Hut appeal.
There is only only hitch, I am not the only female attempting this record at the London marathon. Let's just hope I am faster...
Please support this great cause for the local community. Any donation, however small or insignificant it may seem, will be very gratefully received.
ALL sponsor money goes DIRECTLY to the Scout and Guide Hut Appeal bank account.
I sincerely thank-you for your support, Becca x
