Amputee runner, Xolani Luvuno is pursuing his dream to complete the Comrades Marathon on crutches today.
Luvuno – who is a recovered drug addict and cancer survivor – has been given five extra hours to complete the race.
In 2017 he completed the 42km Wally Hayward Marathon on his crutches. Luvuno is being supported along the route by many of his followers who are cheering him on.
Well done to Xolani Luvuno for finishing the Ultimate Human Race! What an inspiration! #Comrades2018 pic.twitter.com/v2Pw0X5uy1
