Reality TV star Sam Thompson has raised more than £100,000 on the first day of a challenge that will see him run and cycle 260 miles in order to deliver the match ball for Soccer Aid 2025.
On Monday, the 32-year-old set off from Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge stadium in London, the location of last year’s charity match in aid of Unicef, and ran a full marathon before cycling a further 23 miles to reach Milton Keynes.
