Mr Coyle said the charity had "impacted so many people's lives and put smiles on their faces, especially in such tough times".Mr Coyle, who met Ben when he was 16 and playing for Bath City Academy, said his friend was "personable, friendly and chatty". Mr Coyle said there had been a number of challenges along the journey, especially the heat and attempting to stay hydrated."I've been running on footpaths and through fields with cows and sheep," he said.
