00:00It's midnight in Thursley, the challenge begins.
00:02This challenge, inspired by David Goggins,
00:04requires participants to cross 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours on foot.
00:09This is all to raise awareness for brain tumour research and to support my friend Max.
00:13We're on the third run, feeling very tired as I haven't had a proper sleep.
00:30Seeing everything that Max has been through this year has been extremely difficult,
00:38but it's also been truly inspirational and I wanted to do the challenge by myself.
00:45As a sort of insane way of showing my respect for everything you've been through
00:48and how well you've pushed through everything.
00:50I'm absolutely shattered, but we've still got 24 miles to go.
01:01The 4am walk was really, really rough.
01:04I could barely walk in a straight line.
01:06It's 8am on Sunday morning, we've got 16 miles to go.
01:10Every single part of my body is telling me to stop doing this challenge.
01:16But I know there's nothing compared to what Max is going through so
01:18we're absolutely going to go get it.
01:24Every part of my body is saying to stop walking.
01:35One thing I wasn't anticipating was
01:39as my body is starting to hurt, I'm slowing down with each run that I do.
01:44I've got less break time in between each run,
01:46which is making each run so much harder.
01:48So I haven't quite figured out the straight for that, but it is what it is.
01:53I'm nearly there, so.
01:55Eight miles left.
01:57Eight miles isn't far, but I'm walking on legs which have already done 40, so I'm feeling it.
02:07It's the final push.
02:09We've got four miles left and it couldn't have come soon enough.
02:1148 miles in 48 hours.
02:20Challenge completed.
02:23You have no idea how good it feels
02:25to know that I'd have to wake up in two hours time to do another run.
02:29Thanks to all of those who supported and donated,
02:32Max has raised an impressive £30,000 towards brain tumour research,
02:35but he's trying to get to his next goal of £50,000.
02:38So let's help him get there.
