Congratulations to Eddie Izzard
by davebarclay1954
What can you say about that man Eddie Izzard? He had to take a day off early on so on Sunday he completed two marathons just so he could say he had done 27 in 27 days. One for every year Nelson Mandella was in prison. Incredible achievement, and he raised over a million for Sports Relief in the process.
Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Eddie for the feat, money raised and hope all the pain was worth it to you because it is greatly appreciated. No joking when it comes to this particular charity as Eddie has done great things in the past (also running marathons). Anyway well done and great result for everyone concerned.
Wow! I don’t know him but I like him. He is making a difference in our world. Bravo to Eddie!
Eddie Izzard is an English comedian, he started off, like Paul O’Grady, in drag cracking some fantastic jokes. Since ditching the dress and make up he has gone from strength to strength. Nowadays he is as well known for his long distance running as his comedy. He really has done a lot of marathons for Sports Relief over the years and I wish him love and luck for wherever he goes next and whatever he does it will probably be over the top again. Especially given that he’s now 54, he deserves a rest and God knows he’s earned it.
Thanks for sharing information about Eddie Izzard. He is inspirational. Cheers!

I’ve loved Eddie Izzard forever – this merely raised my estimation of him a thousand-fold! Spectacular.
🙂
It really was a spectacular feat of endurance, wonderful human being and a great comedian to boot.
I agree – in fact, his voice was one you could upload to the earlier Garmins, and the things he said whilst giving directions were priceless!
😀
He’s a great man! And funny! I love that he is doing this!
HUGS,
Carolyn 🙂
