A heroic charity campaigner celebrating after completing an astonishing five ultra marathons to raise money for charity.
Speaking to Dawn Neesom on GB News, Ben Fox from Warrington told how he'd completed an epic five marathons.
He said: “It has been quite a summer to be honest with you, I'm just about to able to walk.
“The adventure started last year. I did my first ultra marathon I've ever done, and that was June. I got to the end of it last year, and was like, ‘okay, how can I push myself even further?’
“So I got this crazy idea, I'll do an ultra marathon each month throughout the summer. So in May, I started off at the Sandstone Trail.
“Then I went back to the lakes. In June, I did the race for Stones in Oxford in July. I did an endurance race in August, and then yesterday did the Thames Path.
“It's been quite a gruelling summer. I wouldn't go back and change it. I've fully enjoyed it, apart from my legs and my feet. I'm looking forward to a month or two off from running now and then plan next year.”
Ben, a director of UK Mortgage Centre, is raising money for two charities One is Children with Cancer, who specialise in research and treatments for childhood cancer.
The second is a charity in Liverpool called KIND. which specialises in helping disadvantaged children and families throughout school holidays, through the summer, and over Christmas time.
