A blind British runner became only the third person ever to complete seven marathons on seven continents in seven days when he crossed the London Marathon's finish line on Sunday.
The gruelling week-long stretch saw 50-year-old Dave Heeley run a total of 183.4 miles (293.4 kilometres) -- 26.2 miles a day -- in the Falkland Islands, Rio de Janeiro, Los Angeles, Sydney, Dubai, Tunis and London to raise money for guide dogs.
