Meet David Wetherill, 3-time Paralympian table tennis star & the world record holder for a marathon on crutches! We caught up with him after the HISTORIC RunThrough Foundation 10K to chat all things inclusivity, diversity & his life https://t.co/OlY28S4XxC
๐ "Every step was carried by the people who stood beside me, believed in me, and lifted me higher especially in that final mile. This record belongs to all of us."
David didn't just run the #LondonMarathon - he crutched his way into the record books, smashing the WORLD RECORD for the fastest marathon on crutches (male).
