Onesie wearers are being asked to ‘don’ their all-in-ones for a world record challenge at the stadiummk this Saturday to help raise funds for the Henry Allen Appeal.
The charity was initially set up for Henry Allen, who suffered from neuroblastoma, to raise money for treatment. Tragically the four-year-old passed away on Sunday 20th October, however, Appeal organisers have stated that the charity will aim to create a legacy for Henry and help other children with cancer.
As part of the fundraising efforts the home of MK Dons, stadiummk, stepped in to help after Samantha Poole, a mum of two, called on the city to help her find a location to host a World Record attempt.
Registration will now take place at the earlier time of 7am until 9am. Gates for the challenge will open at 8am with all participants needed inside the stadium by 9.45am.
Challengers for the ‘Largest gathering of people wearing one-piece pyjamas’ can turn up on the day to take part but must register.
Anyone participating in the challenge will be entitled to discounted tickets for MK Dons' match against Walsall, which kicks off at 3pm. Onesie participants can redeem the offer by taking their world record ticket to the Box Office immediately after the event where they will be entitled to tickets at £10 for Adults and £3 for Under-18s. Tickets are limited to one per participant.
The current world record stands at 700 and was achieved by Drayton Manor Theme Park in Staffordshire on 20 April 2013.
