The father-of-three from West Bromwich, who is nicknamed Blind Dave, is the first blind person to complete the seven-marathon challenge in 2008. The first marathon was in the Falkland Islands, via Rio de Janeiro, Los Angeles, Sydney, Dubai, Tunis and culminating at the Flora London Marathon. What makes it all the more remarkable is the fact that Mr Heeley, aged 50, is blind. Dave Heeley, from West Bromwich, has run 10 marathons in 10 days travelling from John O'Groats to Land's End, and cycled between each stage. Prior to the 2012 Olympics in London, Heeley carried the Olympic Torch on a 300 metre stretch of the relay in Cobridge, Stoke-on-Trent, on 31 May 2012, before taking part in the opening ceremony of the Paralympics on 29 August 2012. In 2012, National Express West Midlands named a bus ''Dave Heeley'' in Heeley's honour. He has since taken part in 7inSeven, a 700-mile week-long bike ride between Zurich and Birmingham in aid of Help Harry Help Others. == References == 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dave Heeley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
