An Iraq War veteran from Exminster, who lost a leg in an IED explosion, is taking on the London Marathon this Sunday.
Father-of-two Steven Crowley, 36, is taking part in the event to raise funds for the British Limbless Ex Service Men's Association (BLESMA).
This is a national charity for all limbless serving and ex service men and women, their widows and dependants. It was formed in the years following the First World War and became a national charity in 1932.
Steven's friend, Leon Collins who served in the army with Steven will be running the marathon with him carrying a spare leg in case Steven needs it.
Steven has attempted a couple of half marathons but London is his first full marathon.
"I want to say a huge thank you for the incredible support I have received from the team at BLESMA," he said. "I have been on several rehab events with them and it really helped me regain my strength and focus when I needed it the most.
"Both Leon and I are very pleased to be able to give something back to this fantastic charity in our own little ways."
