Alan Crowdy and Mark Miller crossed their final finish line in Colerne market place, Wiltshire, pushing their friend Andy Williams in a wheelchair, as the fundraiser had been partly in his honour. The team have run 126.6km (78.6mi) in less than a week and raised £7,500 for the Royal British Legion and the Morrello clinic, a physiotherapy centre. Mr Crowdy said: “Andy receives life-changing rehabilitation treatment from the Morrello clinic who help people with neurological injuries. So, Andy is the link between the two charities.” Mr Crowdy, chair of Colerne Branch Royal British Legion, said that turning the corner into Colerne market felt like a major achievement. “[We] heard the cheers from our friends and neighbours, it was overwhelming and Mark and I were overcome with emotion at what we have achieved,” he added. Andy Williams was injured in a car ****** seven years ago, which left him severely injured. He is now using a wheelchair and relies on the Morrello Clinic for medical support. The three men plan to celebrate their feat at a local pub later.
