GARDENER Jody Fassinger will be attempting to set a new world mowing record today.
The Hants and Dorset Gardening Ltd head gardener is aiming to smash the existing record for the longest distance pushing a lawn mower in 24-hours. This currently stands at 41km, so Jody has his work cut out.
He said: “I am very happy to be taking part in this record breaking event in aid of Julia’s House. The money raised will help families and children with life-limiting conditions over this Christmas period.”
Jody’s challenge should be starting at The Athletics Centre, Kings Park, Bournemouth, today, at 7.30am.
