Marathon finished in 13 days
Last year the army Major Phil Packer was seriously injured in Iraq and was told he probably would never walk again. But he decided to not spend his whole life in an invalid chair. So, he registered to participate at the 2009 London Marathon. Phil Packer began the marathon in the same day everyone else did, but his doctor allowed him only to walk two miles a day, so he finished it on Saturday, 13 days after starting the race. However, he was walking the marathon on crutches to raise money for “Help for Heroes”, a British organization that supports wounded veterans. Packer’s goal is to raise £1 million; he has so far risen over half the amount.
Water is life
A quite unusual urban art installation called the „Blue Road” is an example of what mind-blowing urban public art can be. It’s a memorial to nature, but it’s also just plain awe-inspiring. There’s even a few cool tidbits along the road, like a sinking car. The sight is quite beautiful and inspiring to drive along!
