Monger completes 140 mile triathlon-style charity challenge

Good News Notes:

Double amputee racing driver Billy Monger has completed a 140 mile (225 km) charity event consisting of walking, cycling and kayaking.

Monger completed the fundraiser at the Brands Hatch circuit where he had his life-changing accident in a 2017 Formula Ford race. He was raising money for UK charity Comic Relief.

Monger completed the 140 miles over four days, which culminated in 18 laps walking and cycling around Brands Hatch.

Monger said the emotions of returning to the Brands Hatch circuit added a mental toll to the overall challenge.

Writing on Twitter after reaching the finish, Monger said: ‘I knew this would be a test physically, but mentally it’s really hit me. Being back at Brands Hatch has been an emotional rollercoaster. Can’t thank everyone enough for all their support on the way, it’s really helped me!'”
