Eddie Izzard Goes The Distance

We are so proud of him!

Eddie Izzard completed an epic 1,100 mile run across Britain yesterday! It took Eddie seven weeks to complete the challenge, running at least 27 miles a day which took him from London to Liverpool, Northern Ireland, Scotland and down back to the capital.

He literally staggered across the finish line through the rain at Trafalgar Square in London and in front of reporters let out a cry saying:

“I … feel … exhausted.”

We bet! And it was all for a great cause as he was running for a charity called Sport Relief.

Though while running he was accompanied by a BBC crew in a rickshaw, filming as he ran.

Tagging along were also his manager, a sports therapist and the part which was that was pretty funny, an ice cream truck following him periodically playing Chariots of Fire. It was his own version of the movie!

Congrats Eddie!
