"The emotion was running high." Adventurer @blinddaveheeley recently completed his 17th and final #LondonMarathon for @WBAFoundation. Dave was joined by his three daughters Grace, Georgie-Lee and Dannie, and feels it was a fitting way to bow out. https://t.co/qPP8H3TpS9

'It's my 17th and my last!' The legend @blinddaveheeley ran the 26.2 miles alongside his three daughters Grace, Georgie-Lee and Dannie. The group were raising money for @WBAFoundation, and it all gets a bit emotional as Dave bids a final farewell to the race! 🧵 (7/10)
