A COMBE Martin heating engineer has raised more than £3,000 for Diabetes UK by running seven off-road marathons in seven days.
Dan Murdoch, 30, was inspired to take on the extreme challenge by his brother-in-law Arthur Wharf, who suffers from type one diabetes.
The illness cannot be prevented and needs to be managed with daily insulin injections.
Dan racked up a total of 187 miles along the gruelling South West coast path through North Devon and Cornwall – running at least 26.2 miles every day – on his way to smashing his £750 fundraising target.
Dan’s epic journey began in St Agnes in Cornwall on Monday June 23, and took him through Bude, Instow and Barnstaple.
