John Di Benedetto is not a man who does things by halves.
The former Royal Marines Commando is gearing up to take on an extreme charity fitness challenge that will see him and three pals run a marathon through Tynemouth while pulling a Land Rover.
But that's not all, the 38-year-old personal trainer will begin his challenge at 7am on Saturday, August 6, with a 10 mile run carrying a stretcher with a casualty, a 1k swim with the casualty and a 1k commando crawl on Longsands Beach before taking on the truck marathon that very same day. John will be joined by pals Neil Drew, Anthony Longstaff and Lee Morrison, in taking on the impressive feat to raise funds for Mental Health UK and the RNLI.
