Brain injury survivor from Clapham set to run London Marathon in giant brain costume
Briefly

Alex Paget, an avid runner from Clapham, plans to run a marathon dressed as a giant pink brain to raise funds and awareness for Headway, a brain injury charity. After suffering from post-concussion syndrome following a cycling accident during an Ironman event, Paget aims to become the fastest marathon runner in a body part costume. His handmade costume symbolizes both his challenges with PCS and his advocacy for brain injury support, reflecting his journey and resilience over the last few years.
