Children In Need: Sara Cox receives message from Prince William during Marathon Challenge

Описание: The Prince of Wales has congratulated BBC Radio 2 presenter Sara Cox for her Children In Need challenge to cover 135 miles in five days, which has raised more than £4 million.

Cox, who presents Radio 2’s Teatime Show on weekdays, will end her Great Northern Marathon Challenge on Friday, covering the equivalent of five marathons in five days.

Calling the amount “incredible”, Cox said: “Everybody just giving a fiver or a tenner did it, that is amazing. Thank you so much. Thanks to everybody who has donated, you’re absolutely awesome.”

Carrying a Pudsey Bear backpack, Cox will complete her journey in Pudsey, Leeds, having started in Kielder Forest and travelled through Northumberland, Durham, North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire.

William recorded a video message, which was played by Scott Mills on his Radio 2 breakfast show.

He said: “Sara, massive congratulations for what you’re doing.

“You’re so nearly there, just a little bit further, and I know the people of Pudsey will all come out and welcome you with huge open arms, big hugs, and hopefully, lots of your favourite crumpets.

“Keep going, you’ve done fantastically well, and the nation’s so proud of you.”

The challenge is the longest tackled by Radio 2 as part of the annual fundraiser.
