I kiteboard in summer but in winter I need something to keep me so exhausted I forget to be miserable about not kiteboarding... so I run marathons! Several of us will be running 42.195 kilometres dressed in medical outfits - surgeons, doctors, nurses, patients and even as an ambulance to help raise funds for the Leukaemia Foundation, at the Perth City-to-Surf on Sunday 29 August.

We hope to set Guinness world records whilst doing this. For example, I have to beat 3:46:27, the GWR for fastest marathon in a nurse's uniform (male), set at the London Marathon

If you can, please donate at the Leukaemia Foundation's secure website for our group
my.leukaemiafoundation.org.au/personalPage.aspx?registrationID=349556 . A tax invoice for tax deduction purposes is sent by email and 100% of donations from that site go directly to the Leukaemia Foundation.
Cheers, rescueme aka Bigmike

Nice work rescue.

Good luck.

The nurses outfit is going in the bin after the race right?

Depends on the reaction from the wife really... although I'd much rather her in a nurse's uniform... do they come in PVC? [}:)]

Best of luck (also with the chaffing ).

I don't trust myself with a credit card but will forward this to wifey (who actually is a nurse) and some friends who will be interested.

Your bound to make good time with some randy doctor hot onya tail.

Good idea btw to use a bit o' humour for a seriously good cause.
