I will have a final total for the run across the USA at the end of the year. Donations are still being made to St. Benedict’s Hospice which is absolutely brilliant. Thanks again to those people who have supported this cause.

The series of looking back at the run across the USA continues today with the letter 'G'. There were a number of candidates such as generosity, grit, Great Plains, gas stations, grinding (miles), giving back and "geet lang rerds". Check out www.rungeordierun.com for today’s entry.

Who knew that rowing would be the exercise I could do without causing pain in my feet. Looks like it’s Paddle Geordie Paddle for the foreseeable future.

It took me 174 days of running across the USA to raise for charity what Isak earns in a week for not training/playing. That’s a tough one to reconcile. #nufc

Thanks to those kind folk who continue to donate to St. Benedict’s Hospice in respect of the run across the USA. There’s no sign of the kindness ending. A fantastic amount raised so far - www.justgiving.com/page/rungeor...

It seems like I’m now in a Wednesday routine. I attended the 0630 Versa Climber class at David Fairlamb Fitness today.

I managed to climb 2230ft in the 30 minute class. That’s 3ft higher than the second tallest building in the world. That’s Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Really enjoyed your YouTube content from Seoul. Brilliant insight and analysis as ever. 👏 👏

Mark Allison @rungeordierun.bsky.social · Jul 31

Among the 100s of donations to St. Benedict’s Hospice, there have been 95 anonymous ones.

Whoever you are. THANK YOU!

It’s making the pain suffered in the USA very worthwhile.

There’s still time to donate at www.justgiving.com/page/rungeor... if you can.

The run across the USA may have ended 8 days ago but the donations to St. Benedict's Hospice are still coming in.

The charity fund has now smashed through the £30,000 barrier. That’s some incredible generosity. Thank you to everybody who has donated at www.justgiving.com/page/rungeor...

Thanks for the continuing donations to St. Benedict’s Hospice via www.justgiving.com/page/rungeor....

3.8 million steps across 1843 miles and 74 days was all worthwhile as the charity total approaches £30,000.
