He said: "I am spreading cheer running as Captain America everyday and getting the public smiling again and spreading the love, I just want to spread love during these hard times."

His five-year-old son has also cycled alongside him and together they have completed 32.9 miles in just one week.

In recent weeks, the pretend superhero has also raised £965 for the NHS by climbing up and down his home completing 235 steps.
