The fundraiser from West Bromwich finished the Great Ethiopian Run in Addis Ababa earlier today – his 25th Great Run event of the year.

Dave flew out to the Ethiopian capital for the 10km event for his 60th birthday, and described the event to the Express & Star as ‘a carnival’.

The unstoppable runner has raised around £30,000 for the Albion Foundation this year.
