Such an excellent personal achievement, and for charity too. I dont know you, but I'm proud of you!

Obviously I cant answer for the man himself, but the way I would see it would be:

It is a life-changing experience. He did it for his own experience but while he was doing it, he raised an awful lot of money for charity in the process.

Congratulations that's an amazing achievement and I thoroughly enjoyed reading all about it.

How on earth did you train for such an event? I'm pretty fit all round but whenever I'm in 40C heat I find it hard to even walk 10 yards to the shop never mind hundreds of KMs!!
