"Marathon runner jailed for fraud
A man who ran several marathons while claiming disability benefits has been given a 10-month prison sentence.
Paul Appleby, 47, from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, started claiming benefits in 1994 - saying he needed a wheelchair or walking frame to walk.
But Appleby, who claimed £22,300 in total, joined a running club in 2001, competing in road races and marathons. " - BBC News.
I'm sure you've all seen this.... but the question we should be asking is...
Who is this guy's physio?!!!
From a wheelchair to a 3:30 marathon!
I'm sure he could fix my dodgy knee.
