Managed to get a mile with Ben today, he's lovely. But not as cute as Sylvie :-)

He's in Grantham today and appears to be visiting every school in town.

Thanks for the link. Very interesting listening. I thought David Greig nailed it with his comment on sport in schools.

Ran with him last during his long stint in the Edinburgh area. What a generous and genuine man. Shame mainly followers will be reading this! Get out and join him, even for a mile. You'll be made mist welcome. Then pop a bit into his fund...

About This Thread

Maintained by Nightjar
Let's support Ben Smith who is running "...401 marathons in 401 consecutive days around 309 different locations of the UK. The aim is to raise £250,000 for two fantastic charities, ‘Stonewall’ and ‘Kidscape’. Both these charities work tirelessly to combat bullying in our schools and society."

This is a staggering commitment - no injuries or days off feeling poorly are allowed. He is a lovely chap, a joy to run with, and he'll run at anyone's pace. He has already inspired many people to run their first marathon with him.
