Eddie Izzard is running. Running, and running, and running. As he explains in his , he's running right around the UK, from capital to capital: London to Cardiff to Belfast to Edinburgh and back to London.
He's aiming to cover 30 miles a day, six days a week. That's over a marathon a day and an incredible undertaking - all in aid of . His run is being followed for a programme on Â鶹Éç Three, which will be broadcast in 2010, but he is also making video updates like the one above which you can catch right here on the Comedy Blog.
You can also follow Eddie's progress in terrifyingly microscopic detail via his , where he is publishing pictures and even sending out his exact location on Google Maps. When it comes to running a marathon a day, he seems to be the : "Finished 4th Marathon in 4 days. My feet are having a bad time". Mind you, that's probably for the best. I'm not sure anyone would feel comfortable reading seven weeks of their favourite stand-up tweeting in agony.

If he can find the determination to run a marathon length each day for a good cause.... the least we can do is sponsor him.... I'm in California but that doesn't matter because this is a World Unifying Idea... we ARE all the same so Let's Help... GO EDDIE!
