Around The World in Seven Marathons
Dave Heeley, 50, is blind. But he hasn’t let that stop him from travelling the world, and running seven marathons in seven cities in seven days! Amazing. Unfortunately, by the time I found out about him, it was too late for me to track his progress daily. But I decided to write him a few paragraphs now that he’s finally finished!
He’s been to Brazil, the Falklands, Los Angeles, Sydney, Dubai and Tunisia. His last stop was the London Marathon on Sunday, which he completed in an amazing 5 hours and 23 minutes.
He managed to raise thousands of pounds for the charity Guide Dogs For The Blind in the process. Brilliant. He’s a true inspiration, and fully deserved the street party that was held to celebrate this amazing achievement.
If that’s not DisAbility, I don’t know what is! I wish him loads of luck.
