Will Robinson ran around Bristol's Queen Square 640 times to raise money for his amputee friend.

Will Robinson, 27, is hoping to raise £10,000 for his friend Will Bennetts, who had to have both legs amputated after a climbing accident.

He started at 0400 BST on Thursday morning and ran non-stop for 50 hours around Queen Square in the city."Physically I knew I could run 200 miles but I didn't know if I could do it in a 500-metre loop," he told the BBC."I slept for 20 minutes in 52 hours so I'm having to catch up on sleep now," he said.The pair of Wills were introduced by a mutual friend."It's a really interesting start to a friendship," said Will Bennetts.

The money will go towards an adapted bike which will allow Mr Bennetts to get out into the countryside.
