Congratulations to Eddie on completing the 2011 London Marathon.

 

Today the 6th June 2011, Eddie Kidd will complete the London Marathon.This is the 4th attempt and the first one since his accident in 1996 and if you know Eddie it  probably won't be his last.  He has taken 46 days to complete the course with the aid of  'Elmer', a specially designed tricycle to support him on his journey.  They said he would never walk but he has.  Eddie was able to do this with the aid of the 'bioness' system which was introduced to him by The Foundation.  It's a small device that is attached to Eddie's foot which stimulates the muscles to assist him in lifting the foot forward.  Without this Eddie would most definitely not be able to walk. Once the foundation is awarded registration, we are seeking to secure a permanant device for Eddie that will start the programme to get him back on his feet walking eventually unaided.

 

We would like to extend our thanks to all who have helped Eddie along his journey, to Sam and all of the team who have spent the long hours and days urging Eddie on each step.

 

Eddie has raised over £70,000 and counting for Children with Leukamia and for The Eddie Kidd Foundation.  This is fabulous news and a tremendous success for Eddie.

 

We salute you Eddie and look forward to working with you on future events.  

 

We also wish to thank all of the donations that have been received recently. We anticipate the website will be updated over the next few weeks and good news from the Charity Commission will kick start theyear and our aim to to help people like Eddie better their lives..
