“Toon Bodyslam” has covered one-third of his cross-country run

 

 

Toon Bodyslam has already covered one-third of his 2,191-km cross-country charity run, or 700 kilometres, and has so far collected over 280 million baht in donations as of Sunday.

 

Toon or Arthivara Kongmalai took one-day break on Saturday as recommended by doctors after he suffered muscle pains from running 20 kilometres non-stop twice a day with a break in between of the stops for two consecutive days.

 

He and his team resumed their super-marathon run for the 19th day before dawn today (Sunday) at a police kiosk in Kanthulee district of Chumporn for a distance of 16.3 kilometres to the first stop at Tomlamae Moonsat. The next stop is at PTT gas station 14.4 kilometres away with the final stop at Thung Tako LPG station in Thung Tako district.

This is insane, but in a good way.  A rock star with World Class athletic ability.  Who wudda thunk it? 

In this climate, no matter what the cause, I definately would never take into such a venture. Brave boys, wish them a good and safe journey.

Flight attendant. Top level table tennis player. Rock Star. And now a running legend using his fame to help others. This is the type of hero we all need.
