Overview
- Olly Murs finished a five-day run, ride and row from Old Trafford to London Stadium, breaking down in tears at the line as donations reached £832,003.
- The third and longest leg earlier in the week was hit by torrential rain and a fire-related reroute, leaving him visibly spent at the finish.
- He had a damaged toenail removed before that stage and said he was putting his body on the line while trying to keep a brave face.
- During day four on his 42nd birthday, he rowed along the Grand Union Canal then cycled to Wolverton, with his wife surprising him during ITV’s This Morning.
- The effort was inspired by his recent visit to a UNICEF hub in Bucharest that helps Ukrainian children, and the journey will air as an ITV documentary on May 29.
