How amazing is Eddie Kidd?

[headfairy]

2 months after he started he's only just finishing the marathon

Yes, I agree. he is pretty amazing.

I have just deen the report on Meridian Tonight - what a brave man and hisd wife is so supportive

I'm quite surprised it has had so little coverage... they mentioned it on the One Show this evening because he crossed the finish line while they were on air.

Shocked at so little media coverage

I know.... I can't remember how many times I saw that bloke in his diving suit. I didn't even know Eddie Kidd was doing the marathon until dh told me yesterday :(

he did it the other year too didn't he?

Good on him

He was on the one show a few weeks ago to publicise the marathon attempt where they showed the accident that did the damage.

He's also on twitter.

Agree his wife is amazing.

That's amazing!

I used to adore Eddie Kidd. He signed my arm once, when I was 14 and I seriously considered getting it tattooed.

Thanks for sharing headfairy.

Wonderful. Heard this on The One Show earlier. Agree Riveninside What an achievement, I would have expected much more coverage of this.

He is my new hero.

It did it for 'Children with Luekemia'

I love him.

Do you know he has just had his care package slashed and is living on benefits?

I expect they will stop his DLA now he can walk 26 miles.

He's on 10 o'clock news

What now? I cant see him.
