Cambridgeshire Guinness World Record holder dubbed The Marathon Man , Ben Blowes, has completed the ultimate challenge of running 31 marathons over 31 consecutive days.
The titanic feat, which took place throughout December, has raised £177,714 for Tomâs Trustâs 31 Stars campaign to date, which is a five-fold increase on the initial fundraising target. The money raised will provide the vital provision of psychological and mental health care for children with brain tumours in Cambridgeshire and the North East throughout 2021.
Running routes across East Anglia, including completing runs around famous landmarks such as Kingâs College in Cambridge, Ben completed 812.30 miles over the course of the month, even continuing after sustaining a serious ankle injury, all while holding down a full-time job too.

Itzhak Perlman invites you to his Chanukah Radio Party. Join the superstar violinist as he tells the story of the Jewish festival of lights, and shares his favorite recordings for the holiday – some serious, some silly. This engaging one-hour special includes numbers from Itzhak Perlman’s radio-addicted childhood in Israel; evocative songs in Yiddish and Ladino; classical music that revolves around the Maccabee heroes of the story; and Chanukah gems by American folk singers. The master storyteller also regales you with jokes and memories, plus tales of three classic Chanukah symbols: the menorah, the latke, and, of course, the dreidel. A good time for the whole family, at Itzhak Perlman’s Chanukah Radio Party!
