Benali's Big Race in the Daily Mail
Francis Benali was no stranger to a no-nonsense challenge during his playing career, a trait which has led the Southampton stalwart to his latest charity quest.
Two years ago, the 47-year-old ran up to 50 miles a day for three weeks, visiting 20 Premier grounds to raise over a quarter of a million pounds for Cancer Research.
Determined to boost that total beyond the £1million mark, Benali will run a marathon each morning before stepping into the saddle to travel 1,400 miles in a fortnight, stopping off at all 44 Premier League and Championship grounds.
