No, but thanks for the heads-up, I'll catch it tonight.

I saw a couple of programmes on the build-up to this, and as Dan says all respect to them. Seeing how they managed their disabilities whilst working on the car was amazing, as was the obvious way in which this was helping with the psychological effects of their injuries. All credit to them, and to various similar projects such as the march to the pole.

I watched it, its a fantastic race, which I have often kept an eye on it

But this time round, I kept up to date with the race4recovery lads and lassies via Facebook and their twitter feeds, this program's just the final part of my puzzle

Tremendous respect for everyone that competes, or provides backup support, but these guys just are on another level Bow down Bow down Bow down Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Strange to sit there feeling proud about a set of lads who have their own problems to contend with and watch them cross the finish line after that

Hope my kids can give me that sort of smile one day Thumbs Up Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
