Marcus Green , who orchestrated the whole thing said: We did it!!! 2 hrs 57mins 30 secs and a new Guinness World Record for the fastest marathon in a 6-person costume! Absolutely incredible support throughout from the wider Team Phil, crowds and runners at the Manchester Marathon! We really enjoyed it. Full of drama but we got over that finish line in under 3 hours which was our main target.

It was great to run around the streets where Phil grew up, all in Phil’s name. #teamphil and #mnda plastered all over the caterpillar and we could tell from what people were shouting at us that we made a difference today.

Please please donate if you can – we are steaming towards that £10k target. Your funds really will make a difference to @mndassoc and our search for a cure. What a day!
