Made In Chelsea's Josh Patterson running 76 marathons in 76 days for Samaritans - including legs in Ripon, York, Hull, Doncaster, Sheffield, Wakefield, Leeds and Bradford

He says: “There are a lot of people in the UK who are struggling right now and financially, you know, there's a lot of people that are very vulnerable too, and I think everyone is entitled, or should be entitled to support.”

When it has come to his own issues with mental health he has been “very lucky to be in a position where I've been able to afford and reach out to individuals to help me overcome that”, and feels that others not benefiting from such support is “unimaginable”.

His challenge – called Run 41M because he is aiming to raise £1million – started in Inverness in Scotland on February 27 and ends in the City of Westminster on May 13. He is hoping that that £1million would fund 200,000 life saving phone calls

Josh has been assisted by his friend Chris Taylor, who helped put together the routes and is by his side during the marathons, which are about 26 miles long and begin each day at 9am.

“There’s definitely days where physically and mentally the body isn’t totally in a great place but it’s all to be expected when you do this sort of challenge, it was never going to be easy,” says Josh. “I think the best thing about this experience is that I've got an amazing team of specialists and friends and family around me that when you face those darker days, they help support you to get through it.

"But the whole experience just been incredibly humbling. It's been a huge education. We are trying to raise money to help as many people as possible and I think, actually, being able to go to a lot of these cities and meeting a lot these individuals and hearing a lot about their cities through themselves, you can understand why certain areas might be more affected than others. For me, I can kind of come away from this and see how I can positively impact those areas in the future.”
