Paula Radcliffe

“Hugh’s determination to complete this amazing challenge for Marie Curie Cancer Care has been astounding. I can’t imagine running so far and for so many days. I congratulate Hugh on completing this gruelling test and for raising a fantastic amount of money, which will enable the charity to provide more free care to terminally ill patients. “

Sir Ranulph Fiennes

“Running fifty marathons in fifty days is an amazing feat that Hugh has achieved for Marie Curie Cancer Care, a charity that is close to my own heart. I applaud his sheer determination to complete this remarkable challenge. The money he has raised will allow more Marie Curie Nurses to provide free care to terminally ill patients in their own homes or one of the charity’s hospices.”
