Eddie Izzard Runs Marathon A Day For Charity

eddie-izzard-marathons-3

For over a month now, comedian/actor Eddie Izzard, has been running a marathon a day to raise money for charity in the UK!  There have been a one or two days of rest for him along the way, as well as a few shows, but he is still running.  Today is marathon #36 where he will end in Leeds.

Eddie Izzard is running to raise money for the  Comic Relief organization.  They raise money for everything from counseling and phone calls for older adults living alone, malaria medicine for children in Uganda, and school supplies for those in South America.

Eddie should be done with his marathon a day Tuesday September 15th, where he will wrap up in London.  You can follow Eddie’s  journey on his Twitter account (@eddieizzard).  He sends out lots of pictures along the way so you can keep track of just where he is, and if he decides to do a last minute show.

Good luck Eddie!
