As I was doing my prep for the Rock'n'Roll London Walk this morning – catching up on all the music news – I came across the story of Coldplay and their sponsorship of Jo Whiley, the BBC DJ who was running 26 miles on a treadmill to raise money for Sport Relief 2014.
At £10,000 per mile, the band coughed up £260,000 for charities at home and abroad.
Inspired, I thought I'd take a tilt at that total with the Rock'n'Roll London walk this afternoon… and we came close to raising more money than Coldplay…
We only fell £259,890.35 short!
Thanks to all the lovely London Walkers who joined us from New Jersey, Surrey, Los Angeles, Brisbane, Florida, West Yorkshire and London.
