Claire Lomas completed
the Manchester Marathon in 9 days.
Which is half as long as it took her to do
her last Marathon!
Claire was left
paralysed from the chest down following a 2007 riding accident and was determined to
complete the Manchester Marathon 2018.

Leicestershire, uses a special "bionic" suit.

headline news worldwide. She was the first (and only) paralysed person to walk
the London Marathon, she did it in a pioneering robotic suit.
It took 17 days
and raised £210,000 for Spinal Research.
She was then invited to
light the Paralympic cauldron in Trafalgar Square.
On 13th May 2013 Claire
completed her next challenge handcycling 400 miles around parts of England and
visiting many schools along the way to do inspirational talks raising another
£85,000.
