Video: Paralysed Claire Lomas finishes London Marathon Ms Lomas has walked around two miles a day on the 26.2-mile route, cheered on by husband Dan, mother Joyce and 13-month-old daughter Maisie. But despite this she set off on April 22 with 36,000 people participating in the London Marathon. So far she has raised more than £80,000 for Spinal Research, a charity which funds medical research around the world to develop reliable treatments for paralysis caused by a broken back or neck.
