This article is more than 12 years oldLloyd Scott raises £20,000 for Action for Kids by completing course face-down on a sled, dressed as a Magic Roundabout characterHe has crawled for 26 days across broken glass, nails and dog faeces, enduring cramps, vomiting, and least one trip to A&E for a severe nosebleed along the way. But extreme fundraiser Lloyd Scott, dressed in a 9ft-long Brian the Snail from the Magic Roundabout costume, has finally crossed the finish line of the London Marathon.
Scott, 49, from Rainham in Essex, who inched his way along the 26.2-mile course face-down on a sled using his knees and toes to scrape along, said finishing it was an "enormous relief".
Unsurprisingly, he said he was reluctant to repeat the experience.
Scott, who started the race on 17 April, has raised £20,000 for Action for Kids.
