September 15 (which is just starting right about now in the UK) is the last day of Eddie's run. He's going to end up in Trafalgar Square, where he left way back on July 27.
Donations are still being matched, Eddie's still injured, Eddie's still going for a personal best tomorrow, the kitten still has a home. In just a few hours this complete act of lunacy will be a fait accompli.
Eddie has over a million Twitter followers. If he doesn't manage to raise 100,000 pounds with this incredibly excessive act of human endurance, that will be a blemish on the honour of humanity. Now is the time to stop procrastinating and donate.
You can follow the adventure on Twitter, the blog, the Eddie Izzard forum, and this running forum.
Godspeed Eddie!
Donate here.
Update: HE DID IT! 43 marathons in 51 days, personal best on the last one, and totally upstaged the plinth lady on the way in (here at 31:15). Congrats Eddie!!! Hope you can sleep well soon.
In case you're thinking "Crap, I meant to donate but I missed it!", as of right this minute they still seem to be accepting and matching donations here.

Thanks for all your posts on this. I never would have known about it. I donated a tiny amount, but it was only because of you.
Thanks!!! I think lots of people donated small amounts, because early numbers have over 200,000 pounds raised (although they were still matching donations until the end of today so that's not final).
I was kind of hoping it would break a million, but conventional wisdom whose source I forget once told me that 1% of the audience reached donates, so a million pounds from an audience of a million twitter followers is probably unrealistic.
