On September 30, 2022, I started running the circumference of the Earth, 40,075 kilometres, nearly 25 000 miles. For 40 months, I will run across four continents and 22 countries, conducting hundreds of events at universities, colleges, businesses and government institutions, promoting my book, and participating in research led by leading UK sports scientists. Along the way of my running route, I'm fundraising for UNICEF, supporting child protection, education and climate change.
