Eddie Kidd To Finish Marathon Today
June 6, 2011
Former stunt rider Eddie Kidd is expected to complete the London Marathon nearly two months after he started the feat.
Mr Kidd, of Seaford, East Sussex, was left brain damaged after an accident in 1996 when his bike crashed after jumping across a drag strip.
He has been walking up to a mile a day using a specially designed walking frame in aid of the charity Children with Leukaemia.
So far he has raised more than £72,000.
Mr Kidd spent months training for the event on Brighton seafront and has been walking the London Marathon route since 17 April.
His wife, Sami Kidd, said he was expected to cross the finishing line on the Mall at 1900 BST on Monday.
