Words: Gentleman's Journal
The thought of doing 6 marathons in 6 days is enough to make anyone weak at the knees, but Jack Tyrwhitt-Drake, Thomas Muir, Charlie Oakes, Anthony Von Christierson and Tim Elborne are doing just this and, what’s more, in the Gobi desert. Why you may ask? Well, they are running it in aid of the Savitri Waney Charitable Trust, whose primary aim is to cure blindness in rural India.
Before they headed off to the sweltering heat they decided to throw a big ball at the stunning Syon Park, inviting 500 of their nearest and dearest friends for a delicious dinner and lots and lots of fizz. Tom Tyrwhitt-Drake gave a very entertaining show as auctioneer for the night, before everyone headed to the dance floor. Then on the way home it seemed that most of the party ended up in George Adams’ Bar, 86 on the Fulham Road. Needless to say, the evening was a huge success raising over £60,000 for a great cause. Congrats and good luck gentlemen!
