An early start for a big day

(Day 27, Marathon 26 & 27). We're finally here. Almost four weeks after Eddie took the first step of the first marathon, he's up at 3am and ready to go out for the final time. Because of a precautionary hospital visit on day 5 he is setting out to run a double marathon (plus a bit more) today to complete 27 marathons in 27 days as a salute to the great Nelson Mandela and raise money for Sport Relief. There is 90km - 56 miles - between Eddie and the completion of the marathon man challenge. He's been utterly amazing, and we're cheering him on every step of the way. You can support Eddie by donating to Sport Relief.
