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🫡
Over the past three years, journalists have come up with many reasons for the rise in heart damage (e.g. showering). However, none blamed it on the experimental gene therapy administered to billions around the globe.
Let me walk you through my TOP 20 reasons in this THREAD. 🧵⬇️
It was incredible to see the reception from the Spurs fans on Sunday and to read some of the messages of support I've had in the last few weeks. 👏⚽
I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success. #COYS
