stum450n Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=23684 From Pistonheads: EDDIE KIDD'S GREATEST-EVER STUNTStunt bike legend is still tackling the London Marathon - more than five weeks after it finished Those of a certain age (and fans of using motorbikes to jump over improbable things) will know Eddie Kidd best as a stunt rider extraordinaire, but the 51-year-old is only now tackling what must be his toughest challenge ever. An accident in 1996 left him severely disabled and wheelchair-bound, but this hasn't deterred Eddie from tackling the 26.2-mile marathon that is, well, the London Marathon. Without a wheelchair. It's a pretty amazing feat, and Eddie has already raised the £50k for Children With Cancer UK he hoped to achieve, a milestone he passed on Monday. He has now set his sights on £100k, and he's due to finish on June 6th - so there's plenty of time to support him (which you can do by visiting this web page). Good luck Eddie. The guy was a legend when I was growing up and it seems he still is! What a feat and one that really deserves some encouragement/support! Click here to donate Dig deep folks! Link to comment
