0:03 Caalaroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. A man who ran the entire length of the UK to honor his late parents got a boost from one of the world's biggest pop stars. I'll tell you who it is in a second. Laws set out on an extraordinary challenge, running roughly eight hundred and fifty miles from one end of the UK to the other in under seventeen days. Yeah, that's fifty kilometers a day. That means he did over two marathons every day. Wow. Laws lost his mother to cancer in twenty twenty after a decade long battle with the disease. Three years later, his father passed away after living with heart disease. He explained, running became my lifeline through grief. What began as a way to manage panic attacks and sleepless nights quickly turned into something much more a path forward. I hear you.

0:51 When my mother was sick there for a couple of years theres One day I was stressed and I ran out the front door, and I was running a lot at that time, no destination. I just needed to shake off the stress. I wound up doing nine miles that day anyway. Las's goal was to raise eight thousand pounds for four charities that had touched his family's life, including organizations supporting cancer research, heart disease, children's healthcare, and mental health. As he crossed the country, he posted daily updates on social media. Many of those updates included messages directed at Harry Styles inviting Harry Styles to join him for a run. Well, Harry never showed up, but he was paying attention. A few days another challenge, Laws got a message from the Harry Styles team inviting Laws to attend one of the Wembley Stadium shows, and then Harry Styles donated two thousand pounds to the fundraiser. He said, means so much, Thank you Harry and Harry's team. Also from the UK, a supermarket chain has claimed an unofficial world record after creating what they say is the world's largest Picky Bits meal.

1:51 The folks at Iceland Foods assembled a giant snack spread covering a sixty five foot long table with more than fifteen thousand individual eyes items. The feast included one thousand cocktail sausages, fifteen hundred sausage rolls, eight hundred Scotch eggs, and more than one hundred kilograms of cheese. Now the total sidebar here in my own life. That's the second time today that sausage rolls have come up in Now I'm craving sausage rolls. I digress. The display was so large that organizers used a drone to capture the entire table from above. A spokesperson for the Iceland chain said, piggy bits have become a bit of a national obsession, so we wanted to celebrate them in the biggest way possible. Seeing hundreds of people come together to tuck into the feast was a real celebration of the nation's love for this type of food. In Spain, a new floating solar platform could help unlock a vast new source of clean energy without taking up any land. Blue Newables lowered a platform into the water and a shipyard. They're going to tow it to the waters off Valencia, where engineers will test how it performs in real world ocean conditions. The new platform combines floating structures with bifacial solar panels, which can capture online from both sides. Because the insulation sits over water, it may benefit from cooler operating temperatures, potentially improving efficiency. In Australia, a town crier has made the record books. Joseph, professionally known as Lord Joseph, has there in the Guinness World Record. His yell is an astonishing one hundred and twenty two point four decibels. That's as loud as a rock concert and almost as loud as

3:23 a jet. Joseph told Guinness when I was a kid, I didn't really have a loud voice. That was very shy until I left school and I joined the theater. It was very clear then I needed to pipe up. And in Texas, be on the lookout for at giraffe. I'm pretty sure if you see a giraffe, that's the one we're looking for. She's Greasy, and she escaped from the Cedar Hollow Ranch and has wandered off into the Texas Hill Country. Gracie the giraffe was last spotted on a game camera west of the town of Leaky, So if you're over there and you see a giraffe, I'm pretty sure it's Greasy. The ranch has offered a five thousand dollars reward for information that leads to Greasy's safe for two officials say Gracie can be identified by her rounded ears, and are urging anyone who spots the wandering draft to contact local authorities rather than attempting to approach her.

4:08 Thanks for the rounded ears tip, but I'm pretty sure if I see a loose giraffe in Texas, that's Gracie. You know, Am I wrong? Is this a thing? Or they're just drafs wandering they're Texas? Let me know. Those are your five good news stories for today
