Story

The night before I ran the 2021 London Marathon (dressed in a suit) was Deborah’s 40th birthday where she convinced me to run the 2022 version dressed as a poo. This has morphed into a world record attempt for the fastest marathon dressed as a poo and in aid of Deborah’s fund, The Bowel Babe Fund. 

Sadly Deborah didn’t win her fight but she stays with us through the legacy of this fund. 

My 48 year old knees are shot so this will be my last marathon. Training hasn’t been easy so it won’t be a pb, but maybe I can bag a world record. 

Please donate and remember our friend.
