Massive well done Sarah Cox

[Kurt.]

Whatever your thoughts about the sometimes highlighted misgivings of Children In Need…. Sarah cox achievement this week was fantastic… 5 marathons in 5 days and has raised almost 8 million pound last I heard…. That’s a phenomenal achievement and she should be proud of herself. I’ve been listening to her progress on the radio all week and on day 3 she sounded broken, took some guts to continue and complete the challenge today.

Tbf, she smashed it. That was some challenge

 

[Norlye]

Having once done one marathon in one day genuine huge respect for that.
Well done.

Soaking wet, freezing cold and at times walking backwards downhill to ease the pain in her toes and shins …. Massive respect to her

It’s the mental side of what’s she’s done, as much as the physical side.

To wake up on a morning like today with the weather, when your legs and feet are screaming at you in pain, you’re shattered and you know you’ve got to go and do it all again, but in weather like that all day takes some mental fortitude.

Big respect to her.

I’ve done some running in my younger days but couldn’t begin to imagine the mental fortitude required for that. She’s a 50 year old woman too… that’s gotta count for something too

You can do it once, by jogging and walking, but to do it over five days, in bad weather and in an area with lots of nutty hills is some going.

Outstanding £7.6m

She has my utmost respect for getting her arse out of bed on 4 occasions when her body would have been screaming to remain where it was.

Until you’ve completed a Marathon you simply can’t comprehend the intensity placed on your body. To do 5 in a row, well that’s something you can’t train for physically or mentally.

But she achieved it and for that I doff my cap.

Let’s just hope the amazing sum of money finds its way to every needy child and not a single penny goes to a fat cat with their nose in the trough.

I mentioned this heartfelt tribute to Sara’s selfless act to my wife who agreed that she always really liked Cox. You don’t get a bigger tribute than that.

Seriously though it’s amazing what she’s done….truly inspiring

I heard that rumour too. It’s part of what attracted me to her.
