Grantham man raises over £4,500 for the NHS by running five marathons in a week
A Grantham man completed five marathons in the space of a week to raise money for NHS Charities Together.
Joshua Knight, a business development manager, has so far raised over £4,500 for NHS charities after completing the monumental challenge of running 131 miles over the course of just seven days.
His challenge began on the morning of last Saturday and continued until Friday, and saw him burn a whopping 13,875 calories.
The 30-year-old, who lives in Kenilworth Road, managed to complete this week-long challenge in an overall time of 19 hours, 47 minutes and 53 seconds, averaging less than four hours per marathon.
Upon finishing such a tough week, Josh posted his running statistics on the JustGiving page, stating simply: “Job done.” He is pictured (right) with a celebratory beer in hand.
