Eddie Izzard is running 1000 miles across the UK in aid of Sport Relief. As someone who once walked 400 miles for charity, I declare this to be a near-insane undertaking, but worthy of MASSIVE admiration. But what really matters is we get folk to donate money… As Eddie said himself, in response to some asking if he was “Forrest Gump-ing it” – “Forrest Gump didn’t know why he was running. I do. So please donate at [ Sport Relief ].

We decided to jump in and make it a bit more fun to follow Eddie by creating a Twitter / Twitpic / Google Maps mashup to follow him and hopefully over the next week or so start adding some sightings etc. via the twitter account @eddieizrunning. Lots to come!
