He has been running unassisted across Canada east-to-west since March 9th, pushing his belongings in a three-wheeled cart.

The trip is raising money in aid of British and Canadian children’s hospital charities.

McDonald says he was shaken up by the attack, but is physically fine.

“I have been amazed at the response, from friends and strangers and from the British and Canadian media, both of which have helped spread my story,” McDonald posted on his website on Wednesday.
