A British guy, Mark McGowan, is planning to crawl on his hands and knees for 55 miles with a sign on his back saying, “Could You Love Me?”
The 37-year-old performance artist, who said he is also hoping to raise awareness of people left lonely and isolated during the festive period, is hoping to complete the back-breaking task within 30 days.
“I can remember one Christmas I wasn’t in a relationship and didn’t want to spend it with my family. I ended up cooking two fish fingers. I’m sure a lot of people have had that experience,” he said during a well-earned break en-route.
“Some people can spend Christmas in utter desperation and misery and find it difficult to cope with. I hope this encourages people to maybe invite someone over.”

I don’t like the stunt, but I do appreciate the intentions. I wish people with plans for Christmas, Memorial Day, New Year’s Day etc. would remember people like me and invite us over. People hardly ever invite me over for such holidays and I spend too much time feeling lonely. Why are single people without family in the area so easy to forget?
