I've just found this and it may be a little late as he has already started his challange but i'll post it here as it's very cool anyway.
Ivan Newman is trying to raise money for Allergy UK and the Anaphylaxis Campaign.

The challenge involves him starting at Marble Arch in London and running to Dover, a distance equivalent to 3 marathons (87 miles/140 km). At Dover, he will swim to Calais across some very tough water for tides, wind and temperature (22 miles/ 35 km). From there he will cycle across northern France finishing at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris (180 miles/ 290 km). Ivan hopes to complete this between 100-120 hours and aims to be the first aged over 50 to do so!
He has already started, but you can follow his progress on his website www.ivannewman.com (http://www.ivannewman.com/)
