In 2009, Eddie embarked on a massive marathon in support of Sport Relief Charity. His run took him from London to Cardiff to Belfast to Edinburgh then back to London. Eddie’s challenge was aimed at encouraging people to follow his lead and sign up to do this as their own challenge. There’s no better way to rise to the challenge than by entering the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile. It’s all set to be bigger and better than ever before, with 16 fantastic Flagship Miles and hundreds of other Mile events taking place across the UK on Sunday 21st March.
