A paralysed athlete who became the first person to complete the London Marathon using a robotic suit has passed through Oakham yesterday as part of her 400 mile bike ride.
Claire Lomas, from Melton Mowbray, lost the use of her legs after a horse riding accident in 2007.
But she completed the marathon course in 17 days on foot using the specially designed suit.
Claire Lomas now hopes to raise £400,000 for spinal research charities hand cycling from Nottingham to London, completing the task today.
