Most people make a donation if they want to help those in need.But Eddie Izzard,a 47-year-old British man,did something completely different.He decided to raise money by running 1,100 miles.And he managed to raise more than £2!
It would take most people at least two years if they were crazy enough to try and mil such a distance.But Eddie Izzard?It took him just 51 days.In less than two months,he ran 43 marathons!
When asked how he felt,he said that he was planning to "sleep for a week".He thanked the people who had come to support him and joined him on his journey.
And how long did he have to train for all this?Well,amazingly,only five weeks - he wasn't even particularly fit when he decided to put himself in for this journey. And what a journey it was!He lost several of his toenailsand had blisters(水泡)all over his feel.He had to take ice baths for his legs at the end of each day to help stop his legs inflating to twice the size of an elephant.
