\u201cI\u2019ve done endurance events before, but nothing like this,\u201d says Bell, who is doing the challenge with five friends. \u201cThe running itself will of course be a challenge but having any sleep confined to the few hours I can grab on planes between locations adds a whole new element. And I like my sleep.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are doing this in order to raise money for charity. We have selected:\u00a0KEEN London (UK)\u00a0and The John Maclean Foundation (Australia).\u00a0These charities provide access to sport for disabled children as well as helping them lead normal lives.\u00a0This adventure is self-funded and all donations go directly to the charities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Bell and chums start today on Antarctica\u2019s King George Island then fly up to Punta Arenas in Chile for tomorrow\u2019s instalment. From there they head to Houston in the US, then London for the European leg, flying on to Cairo in Egypt to tick off Africa, then Singapore for the Asia stopover, before finishing in Sydney, Australia on 25th January.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The total distance they\u2019ll cover on foot will be 295km, and they expect to be running for around 42hrs. Total flying time will be 52hrs, and the total distance covered (including running and flying) will be 43,500km.<\/p>\n
