Darren is one of five wheelchair users who will race at the rear of the mass field in this year’s Virgin London Marathon on 22 April with thousands of non-disabled runners. Darren’s challenge will help raise funds to support disabled people in the UK.
Darren, 38, became disabled after a motorcycle accident in August 1995 and he has since taken part in various charity fundraising initiatives.
Darren said: “I decided to take part in the marathon because I wanted to show that being disabled doesn’t mean that you can’t challenge yourself and achieve great things. I also wanted to fundraise for Livability as it is a great charity that supports disabled people. I really wanted to help others who are less fortunate and able than I am.’’
