An ex-athlete who was getting bored of quarantine spent his birthday completing a six-meter marathon at his back garden and raised more than Euro 20,000 for NHS.
James Campell, who turned 32 yesterday decided to be productive on a Wednesday morning, and we should all learn a thing or two from him.
He tweeted that if he got a minimum of 10,000 retweets, he would attempt the marathon. His post evidently became quite viral and collected more than 54,000 retweets and likes.
The gym workers and sports masseuse started his marathon at 9:00 am in the morning and completed 26.2 miles. While in the beginning, his aim was to raise Euro 10,000, he ended up collecting an impressive sum of Euro 20,000 for NHS.
Prior to starting his marathon, James revealed that his gym was closed a few weeks ago, as the workplace of many people.
And by Monday he felt like he is losing the plot gradually. He thought to himself about the stupidest thing he could do in his house and what is the most painful thing that he can endure during the isolation.
Then he looked at his garden and came up with the idea of running a marathon there.
James also said that he has never been trained for a marathon before and never even thought about running in one before. 15 to 20 kms is the farthest distance he has covered while running.
Considering that he was raising money for a good cause, he did not mind doing it. At this moment, people are extremely proud of the work that NHS is doing, and they are the only institution that needs support right now.
And the amount he was able to collect is the confirmation that people also agree with this thought.
