I'm running a mile this Wednesday, and although it doesn't seem like much, I have raised over £20 just for that...and with all of the other people doing it as well, that makes a healthy profit!!
And although most people might go on about how it is all for a good cause and stuff like that...although I agree, I am not going to talk about that!!
I am going to tell you about how celebrities are doing their bit for charity this year, mostly John Bishop and David Walliams :)
John Bishop did a week-long journey from Paris to London, and he called it "Bishop's Week of Hell" which, after seeing it, pretty much sums it up! Basically, he cycled from Paris to Calais in 1 day, then rowed across the English Channel with Davina McCall, Denise Lewis, and Freddie Flintoff in 1 day, then spent 3 days running from Dover to London!! This was all non-stop, with only a few hours of sleep between each day! This was really inspiring, because he is only a comedian, and not an athlete at all, so to do something as strenuous as that is really amazing in my eyes.
Also, David Walliams did his bit as well, swimming the Thames (in London) spending over a week swimming every day :O now the Thames is 346 kilometers....which is a
l o n g way! Now you may remember a few years ago when he swam the Channel, which is only 240km across, which is also amazing, but the fact that he has managed to top that is incredible!
So they are both really inspiring people, and they are doing it all for charity which is even better!!
So now you know, and now I shall finish :)
Thanks for reading
