A man with motor neurone disease (MND) walked the final 356 metres of the London marathon in an act of “courage” and “bravery”.

After being diagnosed in 2018, Alex Gibson, 47, founded the charity Challenging MND to help support others suffering with the degenerative disease, for which there is no cure, and their family carers.

Mr Gibson, alongside friends Antony Quant, 51, and Andy Long, 47, took part in the TLC London Marathon on Sunday to raise funds for the organisation.
