    Matthew Plummer, known to some as Bionic Matty P took part with the Banana Army, the LRF team. He had trained for around 6 months for the event and was aiming to finish in 3 hours 45 minutes. Matthew started well and wasn't having any problems, until he got to mile 4 where he was involved in a collision with two other people. He waited to check that they were alright, losing valuable time, before continuing on his way. The delay meant that he got to the finish line after 4 hours and 20 minutes. A bit longer than planned, but still an admirable time.
    It was only the next day, that Matthew decided he ought to get his foot checked out, as it felt particularly sore. A quick x-ray later and the doctor confirmed that he has broken his right foot. I couldn't run 20+ miles at all, but for someone to do it with a broken foot is truly an impressive achievement - well done Matthew!
    If you are as impressed as I am about his dedication then it isn't too late to sponsor Matthew. His Justgiving page can be found at: http://www.justgiving.com/mattyp100years.
