Drag queen Orla Nothin’ has announced she is running five marathons across five countries – France, England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales – over the next twelve months to raise funds for multiple charities, including HIV charity Terrence Higgins Trust.

Orla said: “I’m so excited for this challenge, running five marathons in five countries is no easy feat (even though I’m used to running around in eight-inch heels), but I’ve always believed that the drag community is about more than just performance – it’s about giving back and making a difference.

“These incredible charities are doing vital work, and I’m honoured to contribute in my own unique way.”

Money raised will go towards causes including the Alzheimer’s Society, UNICEF Ireland and Terrence Higgins Trust.

Fans and supporters can follow Orla’s journey across social media, with her first marathon on April 13 in Paris, France.
