Local veteran aims to finish London Marathon in wheelchair

An army veteran says he plans to become the first person from the Island to complete the London Marathon in a wheelchair.

It's been a dream of Mike Ryan's for over 30 years, and the 26.2-mile challenge will raise money for mental health charity Isle Listen.

He's used a wheelchair ever since sustaining life-changing injuries during his service with the Royal Engineers.
