ADAM Murry will be donning his running shoes tomorrow for the first marathon in his epic 777 challenge.

The businessman has put himself forward to run seven marathons, in seven different countries in seven days for a number of worthy causes.

His challenge begins in Paris tomorrow and moves to Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Germany and Belgium. His final event will be the London marathon on Sunday, April 22.

Adam will run the 24 miles in Paris in memory of Annie Howe – the late mother of former Cherries heroes Eddie Howe and Steve Lovell.

He chose to support Dreams Come True – a charity that enables terminally and seriously ill children to go on dream holidays or receive dream experiences – in her name.

So far Adam has raised an impressive £30,000 and the money will be split between Julia’s House, Bliss, Ebony Robinson Foundation, G4G, debra, John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation and Hillside Animal Sanctuary.

Adam sets off on his challenge carrying a couple of injuries, including a torn ligament and stress fracture in his left leg.

Adam said: “I am very excited but I am also very anxious. It is quite a challenge. I just want to raise as much money as I can.”
