My nephew Archie is raising money for UK Sepsis Trust.  On the 14th of December 2022, our family experienced the tragic loss of Archie’s younger brother Dylan to sepsis. Forever 9. If anyone is interested in sponsoring or sharing, please see Archie's page https://t.co/mfQuPSSb9I

@StephenLL6149 @elonmusk @NASA @SpaceX @Space_Station It launched 2 hours before I saw the light. Which from what I’ve read (or saw on Youtube!) is about right

@VIRG0POV @SpaceX Falcon 9 launch fuel being dumped, and freezing and spinning. Seen it too. Very cool

So my legend of a cousin Lorcan just realised he was kind of important to the creation of @foofighters @FooFightersUK He saw a video by Dave Grohl talking about why he got back to work after a visit to Ireland. Lorcan was out hitchhiking wearing his nirvana top when Dave stopped

Biggest thank you of all goes to all of you who supported throughout. This project was built on the foundations of your support. It simply wouldn’t of happened without it.

Yes boys & girls. Another day closer. Wanted to open up the last day of this project to anyone & everyone who has been watching and supporting. Come and run the last marathon, the last half, 10km, 5km, 1km. Whatever you fancy.

We'll be starting from the shell garage in Ghezala, finish at the most northern tip of Africa, and then trading 1s & 2s on the tarmac for 1s & 2s on the dance floor.

We've booked a hotel on the nearby town of bizerte between the 6th-9th of April and have a party organised for the last day running on the 7th. If you want to come and be a part of it with us just email [email protected] with a photo of your passport and flight/travel confirmation and we will sort your accommodation for free as a thank you for everyone's immense support. First come, first served & limited spaces.

Plenty of other hotels super close by though so if you still want to come for the finish and the party, feel free to book your own place (no need to email) Everyone is welcome!

Final 4 weeks. What a crazy adventure this has been so far. Been getting it from all angles for nearly a year straight. If I’ve learnt anything it’s that it would be foolish of me to expect this last stretch to be plain sailing, but we will be finishing strong either way.

Trainers laced, tarmac smashed, nose sniffing out a daiquiri on a Tunisian beach. Grateful for the opportunity to throw the kitchen sink at life. Till the end🫡

[Russ Cook @hardestgeezer]

138 days ago I began my attempt to become the first person ever to run the entire length of Africa.

Here is a list of some of the problems I’ve had to overcome to get to this point (I’m not even halfway):

• Day 1- Started the mission with less than 10% funding

• Day 5- Support van breakdown

• Day 14- Attempted robbery

• Day 17- Support van couldn’t cross the border. Solo into the desert

• Day 26- Food poisoning (multiple days)

• Day 35- Another attempted robbery

• Day 42- Started pissing blood (lasted 6 days)

• Day 64- Got robbed at gunpoint (passports, cameras, phones, money got taken)

• Day 74- Visas issues (had to travel 2000km backwards & pay a load of bribes to get it sorted)

• Day 89- Leg injury

• Day 103- Got stuck in a rural Congo village. Thought I was going to die.

• Day 107- Van needed fixing (10 days)

• Day 112- Restructure of the support team. Made 2 new hires.

• Day 120- Arranged purchase of new support vehicle

• Day 128- Foot injury

• Day 136- Support van crashed. Potentially a write off.

Throw in running daily ultra marathons and it has been quite the party out here so far. The message stays the same as always.

WE KEEP MOVING FORWARD. TILL THE END🫡
