Ben's dad, Richard York, said he was incredibly proud of his son, and very impressed and humbled by his efforts.
Speaking to the Herald after his fifth run, Ben said: ""Today was a lot harder than before because I had a stitch all the way but I ran another one without stopping! I cant believe we are over £800!
"Your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate a lot or a little.
"Anything helps - Thank you for your support!"
