Eddie Kidd. Picture Daily Mirror..
I have been following the efforts of Eddie Kidd’s courageouswalking of the London Marathon, still putting his brave one foot in front of the
other as he is raising awareness of Leukaemia in Children. And the Eddie Kidd
Foundation.. I remember watching his Dare devil Stunts such as soaring over
numerous Buses and cars in one stunt, and jumping over the Great Wall of China,..
It was in 1996 when a Stunt went badly wrong which left Eddie severely Brain
Damaged with serious injuries . Now he painstakingly walks around three quarters
of a mile a day..on a good day.. You can see his story here via link to the Daily Mirror via
their Share it link..Here If you wish to donate to help Eddie’s Charities.. see the links on the Daily Mirror site.
Eddie Kidd interview: Disabled stuntman’s heroic London Marathon walk goes on – mirror.co.uk.
I have enclosed a video of him here trying out
his Bike to help aid him walk for the London Marathon. He has been walking since
the 17th April 2011…And He’s Still Walking..
This just shows the strength of will Eddie has.
Come on Eddie.. And Well Done..
