<div>&nbsp;👋 Hi everyone, I'm running the <i>London Marathon</i> on 21st April but with a slight twist...</div><div><br></div><div>In honour of my favourite rugby team, I'll be dressed in a full-length jester (or Harlequin) costume, complete with eye mask, hat, club and the best bit, <b><i>leather dress shoes . 😱</i></b></div><div><br></div><div> I'm aiming to set a new <i>Guinness World record for the fastest marathon dressed as Harlequin (sub 3 hours 51 minutes...yes there is an existing record!) 🃏🏃🏻‍♂️ </i>And the leather dress shoes are a key requirement of the outfit for that record...</div><div><br></div><div><i>Why, I hear you ask?</i> I'm raising money for three fantastic charities which are all close to our family and especially in the last year:</div><div><br></div><div><b><i>Anthony Nolan</i></b> - Anthony Nolan makes lifesaving connections between people with blood cancer and blood disorders, and incredible strangers ready to donate their stem cells. The charity is taking amazing steps to grow&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 1em;">the stem cell register, carry out groundbreaking research and provide the best post-transplant care. 🏥</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 1em;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 1em;"><b><i>The Harlequins Foundation</i></b> - the charitable arm of Harlequins works with vulnerable children and young people within the local area to positively impact their lives through the power of sport. My dad and I cycled over 200 miles two years ago in aide of this fantastic charity. 🏉</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 1em;"><br></span></div><div><i><b>Off the Record &nbsp;(Twickenham) </b></i>&nbsp;<b>- </b>my dad is a trustee of this charity, which through counselling, improves the emotional and mental well-being of over 1,500 young people a year at a time when they are experiencing unprecedented levels of stress and anxiety. 📞😊</div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Any donations, big or small, would be very gratefully received and make a massive difference to all three charities (as well as motivating me to continue through the inevitable blisters in those shoes...) 😬</b></div><div><br></div><div><b>Thanks! 🙏</b></div><div><br></div>
