A RUNNER from south-east Cornwall is testing his endurance to the limits by tackling four 'ultramarathons' in four days over the Easter weekend to raise money for a children's cancer charity.
Ed Nettleship, from St Dominick near Callington, will be running at least 50 kilometres - 31 miles - every day starting on Good Friday.
Finishing with a gruelling 68km (42.2mile) course on Easter Monday, Ed is going through the pain barrier to raise money for Children's Cancer and Leukaemia Group (CCLG).
The 24-year-old only took up running three years ago, but ran his second marathon in York last October and then his first ultramarathon when he ran 40 miles on a solo run just three weeks later.
