Sporting your Gown to the London Marathon?


We're delighted to hear that Dr Owen Arthurs (1994) will be pounding the pavement in the London Marathon this Sunday, donning his Queens' gown. 

Though a seasoned marathon runner, this will be the first marathon Dr Arthurs runs in full academic dress, attempting to set a Guinness World Record while he's at it.

He will be raising money and awareness for Whizz Kids, an organisation that provides powered wheelchairs, manual wheelchairs, sports wheelchairs, trikes and buggies for disabled children.

Good luck! We'll be cheering for you...
