If you've seen a lego man walking around the town recently there is no need to be alarmed, that's Bodi Clark a 10 yr old from Falmouth who has set himself the challenge of walking a marathon from the 1st to the 24th of December dressed as a lego man.

Bodi has set up a JustGiving page and originally set a target of raising £500 for the charity The Toy Trust however as it stands today (8th of December) he has already raised £917.

Bodi decided to raise money for Toy Trust as he wanted to help children less fortunate than himself and its clear he's dedicated to finishing the marathon, Bodi wrote on the JustGiving page: "come rain or shine, before school or in winter eves I will be walking with my family and anyone who'd like to join me."

Yesterday Bodi also shared an update on the page after already receiving so many donations: "I just want to say a massive thank you for all your generous donations as we have smashed the target of £500 and are on the way to £1000! I'd never imagined we'd get this far, especially on only day eight."

The Toy Trust is a charity set up to support children, they raise money predominantly from the toy industry, its suppliers, and friends; and distribute the money raised to charities helping disadvantaged and disabled children within the UK and abroad.
