I was genuinely humbled to catch up with Alastair McMurray who is undertaking one of the most epic challenges I have come across. He is undertaking a mammoth Sportathon for three charities over the months of August and September this year.

In completing this he is hoping to raise £100,000 to split equally between Bloodwise, Bowel Cancer UK and the Brain Tumour Charity. After raising over £30,000 running thirty half marathons in thirty days eight years ago, Alastair has decided to up the ante and set himself an even more difficult challenge to try and raise over three times this amount.
