Overview
- Cox’s five-day effort raised £10,169,084 for BBC Children in Need, according to the latest totals shared in interviews.
- The BBC Radio 2 presenter covered roughly 135 miles across northern England, finishing in Pudsey after encouragement from the Prince of Wales.
- She told BBC Breakfast her recovery has been far tougher than expected, saying she “can’t really walk” and that severe foot swelling forced her into Crocs.
- Cox said Stormzy’s music helped power her final miles, and the rapper sent her a congratulatory message after she finished.
- A BBC One documentary titled “Sara Cox: Every Step of the Way for Children in Need” airs tonight at 8pm and is available on iPlayer, and she plans to return to her Radio 2 show at 4pm today.
