Adventureman
Since 2012 Jamie McDonald is cycling or running to raise funds for Childrens hospitals. In 2014 he ran 5,000 miles across Canada from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast without the aid of a support crew. He battled -40°C temperatures, the Rockies, a frostbitten nose, numerous potentially challenge-stopping injuries and more to finish in Vancouver, running the equivalent of a marathon most days – whilst wearing a Superhero costume. He is the Adventureman ! Jamie is currently running 6,000 miles across 19 states in the USA from East to West. This represents 210 marathons.
