Summary

After 13 days, an injured soldier finally completed the London Marathon. Major Phil Packer lost the use of his leg in Iraq. This however did not stop him from attending the marathon. His goal was to collect £1m for the Help For Heroes organisation. He would not be able to participate in the marathon if the doctors were not there. He was advised not to walk more than 2 miles a day. He also tells us that he did not do the marathon for himself, but for the people who are not able to attend the marathon. He really has a strong passion toward the charity.

Reaction

This is a beautiful article. It tells us the story about a man who fought, and who is still fighting for his country. He is fighting for all the people who need help when stationed in a war zone. And he is fighting for all the people who are not able to fight anymore. He attends the craziest activities, only to gather money for the Help For Heroes organisation. This man is not giving up yet. He is fighting to help those who are in need of help.
