|May 28, 2025
An inspiring Leeds man who has broken world records and caught the attention and hearts of many for his charitable work is set for a bumper second half of 2025.
Matthew Akpan, 36, from Cross Gates, has broken four Guinness World Records for running full and half marathons dressed as iconic WWE wrestler John Cena.
Matthew has raised thousands of pounds for various charities and has used his platform to speak openly about his experience of living with Asperger's syndrome.
He is now being recognised for his work, having been nominated for the Yorkshire choice awards, which is held next Friday (June 6), and the Rob Burrow Outstanding Courage Award 2025.
He said: "I met Lindsay Burrow and told her how much Rob inspires me."
