This is Alex Roca Campillo.
He has cerebral palsy and just became the first person in the world with a 76% disability to finish a marathon.
Alex showed the world that a person’s inabilities don’t determine their value or potential.
Truly inspiration ❤️

The National Disability Sports Organisations (NDSOs) are a good starting point for many deaf and disabled people who want to be more active. They provide advice, support, and opportunities for people of all ages.
Here's a round-up of their latest news:

TV interviewing players when they should be celebrating the highlight of their career that may never be repeated I've got no time for!

Tonight’s @thornbridge Man Of Match is Club Legend Ben Turner.
Fantastic Performance after coming straight in to the starting 11 after a period out due to injury.
Well done Ben!

What a save that is by the Shildon keeper. An absolute thunderous strike from Turner looks to have him beaten but he puts out a strong hand and keeps the score at 0-0.

Ending the year on a high with the news that our baby, due in May is going to be a little girl and she's healthy as can be at this stage, is the best news we could have wished for. Happy new year everyone ♀️💕xx @Jenbasford11

GOAL! Debutant Sam Ackroyd curls it in after a staggering run from Turner 🔴⚫️ 3-1

Just talking with the very wise @Jenbasford11, who, reflecting on her great work, says:
"It is all very well saying you are inclusive, but what is it that you are doing about this? How are you proactively making that inclusion happen and making it fair...?"
Food for thought.

The @sheffieldfc man of the match tonight is @J_Hedge01.
Honourable mention to @HMitch1998 too who was outstanding. Never less than 100% from the young man.
Can't criticise anyone tonight - obviously @benturner1707 is a football genius as always.

He was named player of the season as we reached the play-offs in 2012 and has made 216 appearances & scored 5 goals in the decade since.
Happy debut-versary Ben ⚽️
