A brain injury survivor from Clapham will attempt to set a new world record for the fastest male London Marathon runner dressed as a body part.

Alex Paget will race dressed as a giant brain, to raise money for the charity Headway which supported him as he dealt with post-concussion syndrome.

He also wants to raise awareness of the condition, which he developed shortly after falling off his bike and hitting his head in 2021.

He said wearing such a “ridiculous” costume along the 26.2-mile challenge will symbolise his recovery – and help the charity in helping other brain injury survivors.
