Ok. It’s out there. Yes. I am that old. Autism: I was diagnosed at 60 - BBC Future bbc.com/future/article…

@FortyII Thank you. We are all exhausted and he’s finally trimming his beard!

Matthew Hollingham has done it! His Arctic to Africa challenge is over. He’s in Tangier after 3,500 miles starting with a swim across the Arctic Circle at the end of May. Then 37 daily marathons, almost 2,500 miles cycling and - on the final day - an unplanned additional marathon after non-stop flat tyres. Thank you to everyone who has supported him. Link below still live.

@tabzahs Absolutely but also so glad it’s over - it’s aged his parents!

@ScienceNelson You must be so proud of him. He's done a brilliant thing.

@anjahuja Thank you ❤️

@ScienceNelson Sue, this is beyond amazing. I’m so sorry for Matthew’s loss. What a remarkable man and I wish him all the very best for the future.

@obrientweet Thank you Alex - and for your generous sponsorship. We’re waiting in Tangier for him to arrive and then it’s done!!!

@ScienceNelson In such awe of your boy, Sue! My heart breaks for him a little every single time I think of the immense love that has fuelled his journey... to anyone else please support if you can justgiving.com/page/lovisaint…

Final day of Matthew Hollingham’s world’s longest Ironman triathlon. Cycle rethink after three flats this morning so he’s switched to running a marathon… it’s midday. Hence the not too happy expression. Plus his legs are atuned to cycling now. Eek. So close... but he’ll do it.

Thanks @Glasgow_Times as Matthew graduate of @UofGlasgow glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/26420743.…

@SignalsRuf Bye bye

Tomorrow in Tangier, my son PhD student Matthew Hollingham will complete the world’s longest Ironman triathlon. Four time World Ironman champion Chrissie Wellington says: ‘This is a mindbendingly epic feat.’ All for charity to honour the fiancee he lost in 2023. Links below.
