Should Mick'n'Phil be allowed to run the Flora London Marathon?

Question

They're not allowed an official place on health and safety grounds. Is this justified? I think not, but I'm all ears.

In brief - Mick is Phil's dad. Phil is severely disabled - Mick is an awesome athlete and father. They are faster than most runners, even though Mick is pushing an adult in a wheelchair. They want to do London while they can still post a respectable time. They live for it (seriously). Tell me I'm mad or sign the petition.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I don't see anything wrong with allowing him be involved in the competition.

Thanx!
