Big big ups for eddie!

Eddie Kidd, one of the world's foremost stunt riders before he suffered severe brain damage in a stunt at Santa Pod Raceway in UK a few years back (doctors said he would never walk again), has just completed the London Marathon today - 26 miles in 2 months.

Watching a video of him dragging himself along for a kids charity is both heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time.

I believe he personally raised around £100,000 for the kids but it must have been hell. He walked about a mile a day, but yesterday he managed two.

Amazing commitment. Now, THAT's what I call a role model so stuff that in your football boots, Beckham!

Absolutely. A role model with grit and determination. These are the people who should receive awards and titles, not the poncy film stars, billionaire philanthropists, and overpaid sports people.
