Saturday Surprise: Eddie Izzard backs Leamington runner

An ex-soldier who suffered from post traumatic stress disorder is running around the UK coastline to raise money for a residential retreat for military personnel. Paul Minter, 34, from Leamington Spa, sets off on 1 March and hopes to complete the 5,000-mile (8,046km) journey on 4 October. The feat is the equivalent of running 191 marathons in 218 days. On CWR Breakfast with Lorna Bailey on Saturday, Paul told us about his challenge - and then had a special surprise.
Comedian Eddie Izzard had a message for him!
