A man dressed as Daddy Pig from Peppa Pig has completed the London Marathon in 5 hours, 51 minutes, and 53 seconds, raising money for the National Deaf Children’s Society in memory of a real‑life son named George who is partially deaf.
The participant wore a full Daddy Pig costume over his running gear for the entire 26.2‑mile route, a move that drew loud cheers from fans, families and media crews along the streets of London. His run was part of a wider campaign tied to the popular children’s cartoon, which recently revealed that Daddy Pig’s son, George, is mildly to moderately deaf, a storyline that mirrors challenges faced by many deaf and hard‑of‑hearing children in real life.
