Eddie Izzard

Sending ~~~~~healing vibes~~~~~ for your medial deltoid ligament xoxoxox

You will never know how many people you’ve inspired, not just to donate, but to DO. There’s an image of you now always in my heart, running in the rain, on blistered feet, raising money to help people, and carrying a flag (it doesn’t matter which one: all different, all the same). Inspiring me to help too, in whatever ways I can. All good wishes, Eddie, from Sonoma County (70 miles north of “the City”).

I'm hoping and praying your ankle is ok!!!! I hope you realise how inspired people all around the world are by what you're doing. I was lucky enough to meet you near Jedburgh and then just south of Durham. As a non runner I'm amazed by your determination and your achievement. I've told everyone I know what you're doing and how to sponsor you. Stay strong... not so far now!

10 Sep 2009 - 22:11 BST

You rock!

10 Sep 2009 - 23:13 BST

Fingers tightly crossed that you can continue to the finish without any serious damage. You have done such an amazing thing so far it would be a real shame if injury were to spoil it now.

Greetings to you from San Antonio, Texas! Eddie, I am not one to ever "Twitter or Blog", but following your commitment to this cause has been my guilty obsession! I have been so in awe of your fortitude and perseverance during your great adventure. Most of us look at your entertainment to define "you", but I must say, following your current journey, has only made me proud to be part of "your" human race. I can only imagine the physical pain and mental anguish you have gone through, unselfishly, for the future benefit of so many others. I know you still have a few more days to go, and now a little wounded, but your accomplishments have had a tremendous trickle down effect of humanity. Paying it forward, in a monumental way! Congratulations to you and your team for setting the bar so high for the rest of us mere mortals! Thanks for all you do! Shannon

11 Sep 2009 - 00:44 BST

well hope it all sorts itself......poor old ankle is feeling like lil toe badly done too dancers get this sort of stuff......be careful please bellisima but crossing everything that you can finish you are soooooo close well done jo keep him going if you can xxx.

11 Sep 2009 - 00:55 BST

I saw you running on Mansfield Road in Nottingham on Wednesday and wondered what was going on! Looked it up and now can sponsor you. Was trying to explain to my kids who you are after seeing you :-)) "He tells jokes for a living..." Well done Eddie and hope you get to London safely.

11 Sep 2009 - 11:54 BST

Cool to bump into Eddie this morning. Me - "Hi Eddie, mind if I shake your hand?" Eddie - "Cool" Me - "Nice to meet you have a good day!" Suprised he didn't ask me for my autograph though. He must have been shell shocked to meet me I guess? Good work Eddie! Keep it going! And you were great in Edward II by the way (10 years ago in Leicester!). Jonny

11 Sep 2009 - 13:24 BST

I interviewed Eddie as he ran up Nottingham Road in Mansfield and he was a true gent for the local paper. I want to thank him for his generousity with his time...I just wish I'd asked for a picture with him! Got my fingers crossed for you man. I'm sure you'll make it.

11 Sep 2009 - 13:53 BST

Hi Eddie, I saw you inSheffield on Tuesday teatime at the park square round about, bright green audi, I beebed you and shouted come on eddie out of the window but you gave me a very strange look so I just wanted to let you know it wasn't abuse I was shouting but wishing you well. Doing smashing job and just sponsored you.

11 Sep 2009 - 13:58 BST

Have you tried stirrup taping to restrict eversion of the foot.X

11 Sep 2009 - 14:05 BST

Hi, saw you running through Wigston today, you waved when i beeped! You are a real inspiration and have inspired me to sponsor you....Good luck & well done so far xxxxxx

11 Sep 2009 - 17:42 BST

Been following for a while now, so thought it was time to chip in... Just to say that I'm completely inspired by your efforts Eddie; sometimes in a long event the end can seem to get further away as you get closer to it, but keep strong and soon enough you'll be proudly looking back at your truly incredible achievement. I know you must have faced many dark moments by now, so if you can come through them then I'm confident you can see this through. By now, I guess you are too. MASSIVE respect.

11 Sep 2009 - 18:11 BST

If everyone who is following Eddie on Twitter and YouTube sponsor him at just 1 pound, he'd have a million pounds for charity! I hope that happens!

12 Sep 2009 - 01:19 BST

Hope your foot soon gets better Eddie and you can keep on keeping on to Trafalgar Square on Tuesday. Hope everyone turns up and T-Mobile sponsor one of their adverts with a crowd singing the line from the Proclaimers song ... I would walk 1000 miles just tobe the man ... Well you are the man anyway Eddie and I will sing it for you in my heart. xx

12 Sep 2009 - 11:01 BST

just standing outside Swan Revived in Newport Pagnell, not expecting to see Eddie Izzard running behind an ice cream van, but I did! Eddie you looked strong and focused which, in this unexpected heat, is pretty fab. Well done and keep focused. By the way youve got a lovely pair of calves!!

12 Sep 2009 - 15:02 BST

Eddie - we are so in awe of you. I missed you in Bristol ( what way did you go), missed you in Mid Wales - are you avoiding me? Wanted to make London on tuesday but it will cost £50 - so will sponsor you again instead. See you in Cardiff in 6th Nov instead - look for the girl in Block BB blowing you kisses!!

12 Sep 2009 - 18:14 BST

Eddie Eres lo maximo!!! Suerte amigo

13 Sep 2009 - 16:54 BST

Congratulations Eddie on completing your 10 marathons in 10 days stint! Truly remarkable! I should think it must have been one of the hardest parts of your journey so far - especially with the bad ankle. Hope your ankle is feeling better after your day off. Make sure you look after it, don't push yourself too hard and cause any lasting damage! We do worry about you! ONLY 2 RUNS LEFT TO GO! 1,000,000+ PEOPLE ARE WITH YOU ALL THE WAY AND SENDING YOU LOTS OF LOVE! WE KNOW YOU CAN DO IT! xx

13 Sep 2009 - 18:48 BST

Want to come to Trafalgar Square to cheer you in what time will you be due there? Been following on twitter, you are an absolute inspiration (and you're very good in Valkyrie too!)

13 Sep 2009 - 21:26 BST

I love you more now than ever!!!!!!

14 Sep 2009 - 15:41 BST

Hi Eddie, just wanted to add my congrats and admiration on your epic run around the nation - shame you couldn't get over to the Isle of Man, but it's a bit out of your way! Have just added my bit of sponsorship, hope you get a huge total by the 20th. You might find a gadget called an Aircast ankle brace some help: you can still run, but it stops you going over on your ankle in either direction. Looking forward to seeing your show in Manchester on 7th November!

14 Sep 2009 - 15:52 BST

Well done Eddie!! We were lucky enough to see Eddie on the road leading from Woburn Sands to Woburn on Saturday 12th. He looked fab and very fit. My friend Jenny agreed that he did have manly legs now! Had a bit of camera trouble which he kindly tried to help with, got him on video instead. He has done amazingly well for a very good cause!! p.s. Does anyone know who the scottish chap is who was cycling with him and had blisters?

14 Sep 2009 - 18:29 BST

Just spotted you on London Road, St Albans - looks like it's been a long day, keep going!

14 Sep 2009 - 19:07 BST

Wouldn't it be fabulous if everyone following on Twitter donated £1. It's not much on its own, but it would add up to mega money! I am in AWE! (just south of Raptures.)

14 Sep 2009 - 19:50 BST

1100 miles around the UK. Six marathons a week. "I wonder if I'm a human who's allowed to do it," you said in your first BBC 3 interview. Turns out you were allowed. Or allowed yourself. Way to go, Eddie! Off now to make a 2nd donation out of my unemployment benefit. You'll be home soon, I'll get a job soon, and I'll see you in that place that's "just a collection of houses" on Jan. 23, 2010.

15 Sep 2009 - 02:50 BST

Eddie - so wish I was there to welcome you home. No sign of you on TV - what to you have to do to make the news these days. So much love to you and your tirde little totsies!xxx

15 Sep 2009 - 15:29 BST

Eddie, just watched you on the tele finishing at Trafalgar Square, you are amazing. You can be very proud of yourself for your achievement, its a pity there wasn't that much tv coverage of it.

15 Sep 2009 - 17:56 BST

You just crossed the finish- SO AWESOME!! BETTER THAN A HOTDOG!!! From American runners in LA who adore you, we are so proud of you!! CONGRATULATIONS EDDIE!!!

15 Sep 2009 - 18:55 BST

Eddie, I'm feckin' impressed! I don't take to commenting on blogs, but this is worthy of a heck of a lot of praise! Well done!

15 Sep 2009 - 19:00 BST

Word keeps spreading... Sincerely hope the ankle holds up so you can finish. Best wishes to you and thank you for the wonderful work you and the crew are doing!!!

15 Sep 2009 - 20:33 BST

Fantastic! What an awe-inspiring performance! I'd never heard of sport relief (don't watch tv) but reading about your amazing feat and sheer guts has inspired me to log on and donate. I may even go for a run :) Go ahead and enjoy a well-deserved rest now.

15 Sep 2009 - 22:05 BST

Eddie, I have been following your progress via Twitter religiously. You have accomplished something truly incredible, which in one sense is not surprising, because you are a brilliant comedic talent. But that you have achieved your athletic goal and have completed an unbelievably grueling campaign is even more gobstopping. Well done, indeed! Will see you Stateside at the Chicago gig Jan 8. Rest up, my dear.

16 Sep 2009 - 00:46 BST

Man. 7 weeks of daily marathons. The latest news is £200,000 - That's not enough. I've just been made redundant, but what the heck, I'm so completely amazed, I've had to donate.

16 Sep 2009 - 11:57 BST

Already thought you were a legend but now....off the chart!

16 Sep 2009 - 13:27 BST

I'm not quite sure how I've only just heard about this today...but "fark" it's impressive!!!! Totally in awe, congratulations doesn't cut it! Have donated and will make sure everyone I know does too!

16 Sep 2009 - 20:13 BST

You are absolutely amazing! This is the most incredible feat I have ever heard of for any charitable cause. WELL DONE ! ...and good luck with the recovery. I hope you won't be hobbling when you come to Wembley.

16 Sep 2009 - 23:08 BST

Well done - what an achievement. And great to see you make the effort to some remoter and less seen parts ( I live in Castle Douglas).

16 Sep 2009 - 23:29 BST

Eddie you ran past me the otherday and gave me a wave in St Albans, Hertfordshire, You are a great man, and you are doing a great thing for man kind. I have always been a fan of yours but Wow. Oliver.
