27-year old Sam Hustler inspired many with his determination to raise money for charity, in South Woodford, Essex, a suburb of London, England.
Sam had been training for London Landmarks Half Marathon, which had to be cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. When he heard the news, he decided he would still run the half marathon, even if that meant running the length of his balcony of his third-floor apartment 7,000 times.
Originally, he had planned to raise about 500 euros, (640$) for a local charity, Haven House Children Hospice, an organization that supports children with life-threatening or life-limiting illnesses. Due to his dedication and commitment to running on his balcony, he actually ended up raising 1,900 euros (2,400$) for the children of Haven House!
Go Sam!
