BLIND DAVE SURVIVES MEDIA BLITZ

19-01-2008

With just 79 days to go before he attempts to run seven marathons in seven days on seven continents, Black Country marathon runner Blind Dave Heeley has overcome his injury problems to resume training. His only problem now is fending off the media.

In the last ten days, Dave has appeared on Australian radio and BBC Five Live, and been featured in range of national newspapers including the Daily Mail (http://tinyurl.com/272d5m) and the Mirror (http://tinyurl.com/22jmjj)

That’s on top of regular features in the Express and Star, the Birmingham Mail and the Black Country Mail. Oh, and not forgetting Channel 4’s invitation to take part in Wife Swap (see link here)
