Bright back and sides - Darren shows off his new hairstyle, with the man who responsible, Lee Horsey
DARREN Smith will certainly stand out in the crowd of 37,000 runners at the London Marathon on Sunday after dying his hair pink especially for the event.
The 42-year-old, of Arterial Road, Rayleigh, hopes to raise more than £2,200 for the Havens Hospices.
The money will be split between Fair Havens, Westcliff, and Little Havens Children's Hospice, in Thundersley.
He said: "I'm raising money for Havens because my wife Karen's grandfather received excellent care there."
The father-of-three had his hair dyed bright pink at Hudsons barbers, in Rayleigh, ready for the big day.
