In it for the Long Haul

British soldier Phil Packer was injured in Iraq and was told he would likely never be able to walk again. But for the last 2 weeks, he has been walking--on crutches, for 2 miles a day. He is on a quest to complete the London Marathon and anticipates finishing this weekend. It is part of his effort to raise the equivalent of $1.5 million for a British charity that helps wounded vetarans, ,and he has raised more than half of that amount already.
