Tobias' Marathon Challenge

This is an article about an inspirational boy, Tobias Weller, who has cerebral palsy and autism. He has walked two marathons so far and in a recent twitter post he has now announced that he is due to take on a third marathon. Tobias was inspired by Captain Sir Tom Moore to walk his marathons using a special running frame and has now raised over £150 000 for his local hospital and the school he attends. Tobias was joined by Jessica Ennis-Hill, an Olympic athlete, for the end of his race. We wish him all the best for his future challenges!
