In 2015, Ben set off on an unimaginable challenge, running 401 marathons in 401 days and in the process managed to raise an astounding £330,000 for two anti-bullying charities.
It is something which Ben had to face and overcome during his childhood where at the age of 18 things got so bad that he attempted to take his own life. The effects of this lasted way into his 20's and took Ben's health down a severe path. It was only when Ben discovered who he really was and started living a life true to himself that he began to find happiness and was able to get over the challenges of his childhood.
On the final of his marathons, Ben was joined by 350 people who had been watching him on his terrific challenge.
In 2022, Ben will take on his next extraordinary adventure – running and cycling 14,000 miles across all 50 US states in just 104 days to raise £500,000 for The 401 Foundation, supporting mental health causes all round the UK.
