Union Building in Pretoria. This is where Mandela
gave his first speech as president. Izzard crossed

Mandela and lots of fans were there shouting,
‘Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.’

The month of marathons definitely wasn’t easy,
though. The 54-year-old ran and walked 1,138
kilometres in very hot weather. He had to rest on the
fifth day and this meant that he had to run two
marathons on the last day. He completed both of
these two marathons in just 11 hours and 5 minutes.
Afterwards, Eddie couldn’t stand up properly but he
was happy and his efforts raised more than £1.35
million for the charity Sports Relief.
