Ben Smith was bullied at school for years for being gay, and at the age of 18 he tried to take his own life.

Now at the age of 34 he's doing something to raise awareness of the damage done by bullying. He's gone out for a run to help his charities, Kidscape and Stonewall.

He's run 401 marathons in 401 days and just completed his final marathon in his home city of Bristol.
