Why doesn't this make headlines instead of the shite that does.
The London Marathon finished nearly five weeks ago. Kate and Wills are married (he was inching through Deptford then); Osama bin Laden is dead. But this competitor still has 11 miles to go. Today he’s in Limehouse, fighting the daily horror of moving again.

The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.

He and his missus were on the One Show the other day. So it does make the news even if only as a bit of a sideshow.
The guy has my utmost respect and his missus (can't remember her name sorry) is a diamond, if the footage of her encouraging him to take one more step and concentrate is anything to go by, and loves him to bits.
I'm right 98% of the time so why worry about the other 3%?
