Adam Lever has raised more than £13,000 for the Bone Cancer Research Trust
Mr Lever, a sports disability support officer at the University of Nottingham, had to learn to walk again after undergoing an operation to remove a tumour in his leg."I'm a bit sore, particularly in my upper body and shoulders and my feet, but my legs are feeling quite fresh," he said. "I feel pretty ecstatic really - it was a mammoth challenge yesterday, but there's a lot of relief to finish it, and I'm still on cloud nine."Mr Lever had set a target of completing the marathon in less than six hours, a feat he said he was "thrilled" to achieve.by more than 40 minutes, though he said he will need to make an application to Guinness World Records to make it official.
"In my training my target was to go under six hours, and I was feeling good yesterday so I'm really happy to do it," he said."We learned about the record quite late on... I suppose it's an unofficial record at the moments, but we'll put in an application for it, which would be excellent for awareness for the charity."Mr Lever said he would wait and see how he recovers before deciding if he will take on any further marathons or fundraising events.
Having already raised well over his original target of £10,000, he paid tribute to friends and family for their "incredible" efforts in helping him train and hosting a variety of events to bring in donations.Image source,
