The popular cross-dressing comedian has vowed to run 28 marathons in 28 countries in 28 days. Why? As a reaction against Brexit, and to promote unity and shared humanity. In his own words, he hopes to “make humanity great again.”
In a statement, he explained: “In our country and our world there has been far too much talk of division. We can change this by talking of unity. As Europeans we have achieved so much since 1945, no matter how legal agreements might have changed over the years. Peace, friendship, trade, even love. A sharing of cultures without losing our identities. That is the true power of union.”
His journey began in London on 31 January and led him to several other cities including Lisbon, Madrid, Rome,... and Luxembourg City! The 57-year-old arrived in the Grand Duchy on Tuesday morning and finished his run in just over 7 hours. To topi it all off, he shared a video of him marvelling at the scenic Petrusse Valley in Luxembourg City.
