See below for links to archive footage of Rosie's interviews.
Following her run with Marathon-Man Eddie Izzard in the Summer of 2009, shown on BBC TV, inspirational adventurer Rosie Swale Pope ran 26 marathons in 26 days towing her famous home Icebird to raise money for two Children's Hospices Ty Hafan at Cardiff www.justgiving.... and Helen & Douglas House at Oxford www.justgiving.... (donations still gratefully received). Starting on 5th April 2010 at Tenby and with the challenge hardly underway she increased it to 27 marathons in 27 days (no rest days) taking her across Wales and Southern England before finishing back at Tenby on Sat 1st May and becoming the first woman ever to run so many consecutive marathons. On her weblog rosies26maratho... Rosie revealed she burns 8000 calories per day pulling Icebird.
Born on 2 October 1946, she has been described variously as sailor, adventurer, gaucho, cross countries runner, mountaineer and free spirit extraordinaire. Eddie Izzard whilst acknowledging he himself was bonkers doing a staggering 43 marathons in 51 days gallantly described Rosie as "... big capital B bonkers" • Running Buddies - Eddi... Rosie has written books, made films (see below) and raised thousands of pounds for charity. With characteristic self mocking she claims the only thing she is good at in life is sleeping in ditches blip.tv/file/21... She was the first woman to sail single-handed across the Atlantic in a small boat and trekked 3000 miles alone through Chile on horseback. In April 2003 she ran across Nepal (1700 km across the rooftop of the world) and created a new world record.
After her husband Clive died from prostate cancer she set off to run around the world and successfully completed the five-year challenge raising £250,000 for charity. During this time she survived pneumonia, frostbite and being run down by a bus, to name but a few. It was "a fun run that got out of hand". She returned home to Tenby in Wales to rapturous public reception.
Rosie gives talks to organisations and schools ( www.rosieswalep... ).
She received the MBE from Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace on 21st March 2009.
This video was put together in the middle of Rosie's 26/27 marathons to support her charity raising efforts for Ty Hafan and Helen House children's hospices. The photos don't go much beyond the 18th April 2010 Brighton Marathon and are freely mixed with older photos from her round-the-world run (2003 - 2008). They were taken by many photographers, and the context and story as well as links to news, blogs and Facebook pages can be found via Rosie's website at www.rosies26mar...

'Rosie' the song is from 1968 and was written and performed by another free-spirit, Don Partridge, King of the Buskers who travelled the world as a one-man-band. All instruments (kazoo, cymbals, drum, harmonica, 12 string guitar, tambourine) are played by Don. In recent years he could be seen busking in Seaford and the surrounding areas of East Sussex. He died on 21 Sept 2010 and a video of his unique and very moving funeral, plus links to videos of him busking, is at • Don Partridge - Farewell
