Taking part in just one gruelling marathon is enough to confine most people to the sofa for a couple of days so entertaining the thought of running more than 50 kilometres a day for 30 days must be especially exhausting. <\/p>\n
But that’s exactly what Andy Seery plans to do to raise money for the Help for Heroes charity, the Sun reports. <\/p>\n
However, the 42-year-old policeman has cast aside his jogging trousers and trainers and will be running each of the 30 marathons dressed as an ostrich!<\/p>\n
Mr Seery says after suffering from a spinal injury last November, he was treated alongside wounded members of the armed forces who had returned from the frontline. <\/p>\n
"I got to work with the injured soldiers coming back from Afghanistan and I just wanted to give something back to them," he explains. <\/p>\n
Some 600 runners taking part in Sunday’s (April 25th) London Marathon managed to raise a staggering £1 million for Help for Heroes, which will be put towards treating troops who have been injured in battle. <\/p>\n
