MS footballer to finish marathon
A former England footballer who suffers from multiple sclerosis is due to complete the London Marathon.
Danny Wallace's soccer career ended when he was struck down with the neurological condition 10 years ago.
The 44-year-old ex-Manchester United and Southampton player has taken six days to complete the 26.2 mile route.
Former boxer Michael Watson, who completed the marathon in seven days in 1991 after being in a coma following a fight, will greet him at the finish.
Wallace has taken part in the marathon to raise money for the Danny Wallace Foundation which researches multiple sclerosis and helps sufferers.
Castle completes
Next year he wants to secure several places for the charity.
Wallace is not the last person to finish the marathon - Lloyd Scott is walking the marathon dressed as St George wearing a full suit of armour and towing an 8ft dragon.
He is expecting to take eight days to reach the finish line.
On Thursday Lynn Aston, who has to take oxygen 24-hours-a-day due to a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, completed the marathon.
And on Friday, former tennis player and GMTV host Andrew Castle finished his run after collapsing at the 25-mile point on the day of the race.
He blamed a lack of food on his inability to finish on Sunday.
