'Surprise yourself' says first Islander to finish London Marathon in wheelchair

A veteran who's become the first person from the Island to finish the London Marathon in a wheelchair is encouraging people to challenge themselves.

Mike Ryan completed the 26 mile distance in six hours and four minutes without having trained because of a shoulder injury.

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

Mike raised money for mental health charity Isle Listen by doing the event - you can still donate to his fundraiser here.
