A football fan is running one mile for every goal scored each day during the World Cup to raise money for two charities.
Tom Wilmott said he was fundraising for Brain Tumour Support and Compton Care hospice in Wolverhampton as although the tournament was an exciting time, many people were not able to enjoy it due to illness or personal challenges.
He has run 121 miles in 11 days so far - his longest being 19 miles in one day - and raised £1,635 towards a £2,000 target.
As the last round of the group stages approach and four games a day ramp up to six, he said he would "just have to do a lot of running" despite the heatwave this week.
Wilmott, from Manchester, said he had been running around his job and been getting up at about 05:00 to fit miles in before work and finishing with a run later in the evening.
