Martin Ilott, a veterinary surgeon from Windsor,  has embarked on a 3000 mile solo-run from Los Angeles to New York to raise money for Thames Hospicecare.   If successful, he believes he will be the first British runner to complete the run across America unaided.

Martin ‘s log book says that he’s in Delta, Nevada after Day 19 of his trip from Huntington Beach, California to Central Park, New York and is not averse to running all-nighters. Tough cookie. I wish Martin well.
