Marathon Man's 100th Marathon in 100 Days!

Gary McKee, a dedicated fundraiser from Cleator Moor, Cumbria, has concluded his remarkable challenge of running 100 marathons in 100 consecutive days. This incredible achievement was marked by his participation in the recent London Marathon, where he crossed the finish line accompanied by his 18-year-old son, Beau.

Mckee's exceptional effort has successfully raised more than £70,000 for Hospice at Home West Cumbria, a cause close to his heart. He aspires to reach a lifetime total of £1 million raised for the hospice through his fundraising endeavors.

Despite facing relentless sun during his final marathon, McKee described the moment of completion as "really emotional." He has earned widespread admiration, with even Sir Mo Farah commending his incredible feat. The hospice expressed profound gratitude for McKee's support, highlighting its crucial role in future patient care and raising vital awareness. Mckee, who works at Sellafield, began his challenge in January, with his son Beau joining him for portions of each 26.2-mile route daily. He was appointed an MBE in the King's 2026 New Year Honours List for his charitable work.
