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 Marathonhttp://community.guinnessworldrecords.com/_London-Marathon-results/BLOG/2315079/7691.html ! :D
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?
Please support us running 42.195km for a good cause!

* Personally to me if you know me I have a receipt book!
In all cases a receipt will be provided for tax-deduction purposes.
Our races will be certified by Guinness World Records for attempts to set GWR's for:
* Best marathon time as a Doctor
* Best marathon times as a Nurse (male)
* Best marathon time as a Nurse (female)
* Best marathon time as an Ambulance
* Another attempt remains a secret for now

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.
