Neighbours cheered as Tobias Weller crossed the finish line after walking 750 metres on the streets near his home in Sheffield to complete the challenge

"I'm chuffed to bits to raise loads of money. Other children who aren't as lucky as me can benefit from the money that's been raised."His mother, Ruth Garbutt, presented him with a medal as he crossed the finish line.

"When we started the marathon he was doing 50 metres a day and now he's doing 750 metres a day. He couldn't propel the walker at the start of the marathon and now he can, he can push it on the flat and he's proved today he can push it uphill as well." She said:"It's absolutely amazing. And it's down to his real hard work and determination that he's been able to achieve what he's done today.
