While I kinda get some of the doubts shared here about what he's done I thoroughly don't agree. He's not jsut jumped out of a plane and done a random sky dive, he's not doing a single marathon, he's not doing some piss easy bit of travelling in a vehicle. He's fucking run the lenght of africa. Every step of the way the whole team have been meeting, talking to and sharing the experiences of Africans. They spent a day with the Sharwari refugees, highlighting them as one of the longest displaced peoples in the world. Every step of the way Africans have come out to meet him to support him, give them food or shelter,or fix their vehicles.
I find it a bit cheap that comments here call is suss without it seems any idea of what he has done and how he has done it. My dad ran for charity from the first time hie did the London marathon in '81 pretty much until he couldnt even walk but he did charity walks for heart foundation visiting every HF charity shop in Kent and the south east to raise money. Writing off this as "I feel it's suss" is bollocks imo and you should take a good look at why you think that. This isn't self promotion and even if it was... Why is that a bad thing when you compete such an amazing feat and raise so much for meaningful charities.
Get a fucking grip
