Get Ben Smith (401 Challenge) on Sports Personality of the Year 2016

The Issue

Ben Smith (401 Challenge) is running 401 consecutive Marathons across the UK for charity. He aims to raise £250k for anti bullying initiatives. As well as encouraging anyone to join him on his runs, he also stops at schools to talk to children and spread the anti bullying campaign.Warrington Running Club have run/held two events for him so far, and on both occasions many runners and non runners have run further than they have before. This happens on pretty much all the marathons Ben takes part in.  The BBCs Sports Personality of the Year gives out a "Special Achievement Award" which has been won 5 times so far, including multi-marathon runner Eddie Izzard. Given the dedication to charity, whilst simultaneously breaking a World Record for consecutive marathons, we believe the BBC should give Ben the ultimate accolade and make him the 6th person to win this award Please sign and share this petition & don't forget to donate ! http://m.virginmoneygiving.com/mt/uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=the401challenge&un_jtt_redirect
