Chris's Guiness book of Records Attempt .....Can you help ?



Chris Atkins' world record fundraising page

Fundraiser: Chris Atkins
My page: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/ChrisAtkins1

Hi, thanks for visiting my page.

On April 22nd 2012 I am aiming to become the fastest human in history to complete 26.2 miles dressed as a dairy product at the London marathon. I have had my record attempt application accepted by Guinness World Records and am now gearing up for the big day. The time to beat is 3 hours 55 minutes.

I am being supported by Mackie's of Scotland and I will be running as a tub of their luxury dairy ice cream.

EVERY PERSON THAT DONATES WILL BE ENTERED INTO A DRAW TO WIN A YEAR'S SUPPLY OF ICE CREAM PROVIDED BY THOSE KIND PEOPLE AT MACKIE'S. 52 TUBS, ONE FOR EVERY WEEK OF THE YEAR!

As part of my record attempt I am also hoping to raise £2,000 for Oxfam. Having personally travelled in some poverty stricken countries I think the sort of work Oxfam do is jolly worthwhile. I hope you do too. To learn more about what they do head here.

I would really appreciate your support for my world record attempt and my Oxfam fundraising target by making a donation on this page however small.

Thank you

This is Chris who I made the tub for ...if you would like to sponsor him visit
