Peter Lloyd, a 44-year-old from Glossop, England, is preparing to participate in the Manchester Marathon with the goal of setting a Guinness World Record for completing the race on crutches after having his leg amputated due to bone cancer. Diagnosed with high-grade osteosarcoma in 2011, Lloyd previously completed a marathon in a wheelchair in three hours and 18 minutes. This year, he aims to finish in under five hours, raising funds for the Bone Cancer Research Trust. The Manchester Marathon, which has 42,000 participants, is the second largest in the UK, only behind the London Marathon. Lloyd's determination reflects his belief that barriers can be overcome, as he encourages others to pursue their goals despite challenges. Other participants include James Goodall, who is running in memory of his father and friend, and Molly Lloyd, who is returning for her second marathon. The event showcases inspiring stories of resilience and purpose among its diverse participants.
