On Sunday 27th April I'll be running my 18th London Marathon and my 129th full marathon / ultra and thought it's about time I did it in fancy dress and it would be crazy to not also try and raise some money for a great charity. I chose Prostate Cancer UK as have a few friends who have suffered in recent years and thankfully all fully recovered but as we know not everyone is so lucky.

If you're wondering where the Guinness World Record attempt comes in (the photos are probably a bit of a give away), I'll be wearing this Traffic Cone costume and trying to break the current World Record which is 03.22.16 and was set at last years London Marathon. As a tester run for London I will also be running the Dartford Half Marathon on March 2nd in the costume (photos to follow).

I know lots of people will be asking for charity money this time of year with so many marathons coming up but it isn't something I've done for years so any spare money you might have would be much appreciated and gratefully received by Prostate Cancer UK.
