Man Ran Half Marathon Inside An Aircraft To Raise Cancer Fund

Buzz By David / July, 10, 2025

This eccentric idea came to him when he realized that a lot of charity proceedings have been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic which harmed the needy people. He was inspired by some of his colleagues to take up this insane challenge. He also thought it would contribute to the good of the aviation industry which has been badly affected by Covid-19.

It took Henry two hours and thirty-seven minutes to accomplish the run which fetched him more than £1,000 ($1,300). He dedicated this achievement to his mother, Tracey, who lost her life two years ago due to breast cancer. The memory of his mother made the challenge heart-rending for him. He was galvanized by his mother, who was also an ex- cabin crew member.

He felt the support of his mother every moment while he was performing the challenge. He granted half of the money which he collected to Macmillan to help the cancer patients. The committed person made sure to abide by the social distancing norms. He finished his distinctive marathon up in the sky so that he could contribute to charity.

It was for the first time he tried something as crazy as this, though he has run many marathons in the past. He agreed that not everyone has the will power to run up in the sky. It takes a lot to get out of the seat and run 36000 feet above the ground. He purposed that people can do other things to support charities like host a coffee morning or something.

Charity organizations are doing their best to stimulate people to participate in events to help cancer patients.

The fundraising manager Emma Strokes-Heley said, “Demand for our cancer support services is greater than ever, but, due to coronavirus, we are facing a significant drop in our income.” She conveyed that people like Henry, who put in so much time and energy for fundraising are so essential for the society and Macmillan will forever be appreciative of their efforts.

She said, “Donations are vital to enable us to continue to be there for people living with cancer.” She urges people to show support to fight cancer during the pandemic.
