Cook has crossed these 16 countries in 352 days. During his trip to South Africa, Cook was robbed at gunpoint and was also a victim of food poisoning.

Cook has collected charity money of more than Rs 6 crore 31 lakh through the marathon. During his journey, Cook passed through Namibia, Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cameroon, Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Guinea, Senegal, Mauritania and Algeria. After completing his race, Cook posted his achievement on his social media platforms, writing that he became the first person to run the entire length of Africa, mission accomplished.

Cook has collected all this money for two different charities from a charity platform named Give Star. Simon Klima of the Give Star charity platform, while talking to the media, said that the real meaning of ‘Hardest Geezer’ is to challenge yourself and do something incredible. Before completing the target, Cook had invited people on the last day by sending a message on his social media platform, after which a large number of people gathered, many people also came from other countries to support Cook. While running, everyone was encouraging him by calling ‘Geyser, Geyser’.

One of his American supporters said that he was relaxing at his home when he read Cook’s post, after the post he thought that he could not miss this historic opportunity. Cook was wearing an England football jersey during his race, and after finishing the race, Cook told the media that he was too tired to enjoy a well-earned strawberry daiquiri.
