I decided to listen to Eddie for week 4 and oh how I laughed. Certainly helped my breathing and possibly diguised my puffs and pants as snorts of amusement. It helps to think of him doing all those consecutive marathons and maintains his good humour Made my measly 5 min stints seem like a breeze

Yes I just love the way his mind works,

Good luck in your marathon, I hear they can become addictive too!

Eddie is inspiring - doesn't even need a Drummer, just marches (and runs!) to his own tune :)

I read that in Africa the roads were just too dangerous to be plugged into music. He needed all of his senses

Eddie came to our town once on his way round the country on one of his charity cycle rides - just another one of his good deeds. He pitched up in the town centre at lunch time and the teenagers from the local school took him back to their school for dinner 😃
