A youngster is going to complete a half marathon for Help for Heroes (H4H) after being inspired by the actions of an injured soldier.<\/p>\n
Craig Richardson lost the lower part of one of his legs while serving on the front line in 2008, but managed to complete the 2011 London Marathon using a carbon-fibre running blade, the Norfolk Eastern Daily Press reports.<\/p>\n
After hearing about Mr Richardson's achievement, Ria Bush decided to enter the Warwick Half Marathon, which is taking place on March 17th.<\/p>\n
"I just think Craig is such a positive person. He is so inspirational. He is such a nice guy and there was no way that he was not going to do it," Ms Bush stated.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old – who is in the middle of training for the run – is hoping to collect plenty of cash for H4H, which helps injured servicemen and women when they return to the UK.<\/p>\n
