We’ve been telling you about Charlie Bewley running an ultra marathon to raise money to fight cancer. The Vancouver Sun covered the race that took place on Sunday:

“Actor Charlie Bewley, who raised $20,000 by running in the Bank of Montreal Vancouver marathon Sunday morning, had tears in his eyes as he crossed the finish line, a marathon spokeswoman said.

Deirdre Rowland said the funds raised by Bewley will go to the hospital that helped care for his friend Jocelyn Clarke, a local stunt double, who died of cancer in February.

The money raised by Bewley, who plays the vampire Demetri in the Twilight movie series, will go to the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation.

The marathon raises an estimated $40,000 a year for five different charities.”

We’ve been telling you about Charlie Bewley running an ultra marathon to raise money for cancer research in memory of a departed friend. The Vancouver Sun interviewed Charlie as he makes final preparations to run this Sunday.

“Of course, he could have chosen to run just the marathon or the half marathon but he has opted to do both, which will add up to 63.3 kilometres. It’s the farthest he has ever run. “It’s something I’m not quite sure of. It’s a very dark place.”

He is looking forward to the challenge.

If his friend Clarke could live full throttle to the very end without flinching, he can run headlong into the biggest challenge of his running career.

“The reason I decided to run a larger marathon is I just don’t think a marathon is that difficult. I would run it very, very easily, not as if my life depended on it. I preferred to do something I didn’t know I could do.”
