Iron Giant To Run In London Marathon
Lloyd Scott has constructed a 9 foot tall Iron Giant costume and will run inside it during the London Marathon. He is raising money for the Autism Trust.
I am raising funds for a fantastic charity called the Autism Trust. The reason I chose a robot is that people often think autistic people have a robotic existence, when in fact they are very real people inside with huge potential and the ability to flourish with the right help and support.
Scott has run the marathon in costumes before, including as Indiana Jones with a boulder ‘chasing’ him. Cool build and a great cause. Spotted at Mr. Future via woot!

Yeah, I want that in my house when he’s done…of course, my ceilings are too low.
