    86 years old and what a guy, had the great pleasure of meeting him at the Sheffield half marathon today, he stops to chat to everyone but still completed it in well under 4 hours.
    Truly inspirational man.

    Raised over a million pushing his late daughter's pram. Lost his wife and daughter within a year in the early 90's. The bloke is made out of teak, incredible.
