Sara Cox's painful update as she says it's never happened before after Children in Need challenge
Sara Cox completed the 135-mile Great Northern Marathon Challenge to raise over £10 million for Children in Need, inspired by her late brother and supporting children with mobility issues.
- On Wednesday, Sara Cox completed five marathons in five days and raised £10 million for Children in Need.
- Motivated by family bereavement, Sara Cox said her brother David died suddenly in 2019 and the loss continues to influence her decisions.
- Her support crew included Greg Whyte, Olympian, and physiotherapists who aided her through shin pain, exhaustion, and swollen feet that forced her to wear Crocs, which were still a squeeze.
- At the Pudsey finish, Sara Cox received a message from the Prince of Wales, was greeted by family and supporters, and saw a Mel C performance with a Red Arrows fly-past.
- Cox said the funds largely came from Radio 2 listeners and Children In Need supporters, highlighting stories like Austin, who has Muscular Dystrophy.
