Eddie Izzard joins Palace fans and legends to raise over £60,000 for charity

Eddie Izzard took part in a marathon-length walk alongside former Crystal Palace F.C. players Mark Bright and Shaun Derry and 130 Palace fans to help raise more than £60,000 for the club’s official charity, Palace for Life Foundation.

The walkers completed the Palace for Life Marathon March, powered by Utilita, in socially distanced groups of six, setting off from Selhurst Park bright and early on Saturday 10th October to walk 26.2 miles through the streets, parks and woodland of south London.

Stand-up comedian, actor and lifelong Crystal Palace fan Izzard said: “This is my first full Marathon March so I’m loving it, normally I’m running marathons, but this was actually very hard work.
