That's a nice story, Michael Watson's struggles against his own disability are a real inspiration, as this story proves.

I guess it must be his legs which are affected then, because he looks like he was actually hitting the pads. What a horrible condition to have, and it must be even worse when you've led such a physical life and been a pro athlete.

Just heard from Team Wallace and they have decided to do some extra miles tonight and should finish on the Mall tomorrow (Friday 28th) at 5pm.

Michael Watson will be on hand to present the Marathon medal to Danny.
