Friends, family and the football world have rallied around Bristol football legend Marcus Stewart since he was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, but his cousin is going a little bit further than most in her efforts to back the family’s appeal. Claire Case is planning on wearing a huge carrot costume - complete with inflatable green top - almost every minute of every day and night for seven days straight.
The 31-year-old will go to work, to the shops, to the gym, on the school run and to bed in her full-size, head-to-toe carrot costume. And is asking all of Bristol to sponsor her and donate to the charity appeal set up by Marcus’ wife Lou, following the announcement of his diagnosis.
Claire, from Hartcliffe, said with all the sadness surrounding Marcus’ announcement, she wanted to do something that will make everyone laugh - and the man himself especially.
