Lloyd Scott, the lunatic who is pulling a 10ft high 200lb dragon in the Flora London Marathon, today reached the halfway point.And if the dragon isn't enough, he's also wearing a 100lb suit of armour.
The 44-year old former Leukaemia sufferer is raising money for Team Redgrave - Olympic rower Sir Steve's charity organisation.
Sir Steve is aiming to break the fundraising record by collecting £1.2million for the Richard House, a hospice that cares for children that are not expected to live into adulthood.
Lloyd was tired but determined as he crossed the half way point.
He said: "Sometimes I get individual pains, sometimes it hurts my whole body, sometimes I just go into spasm."
It's not the first time Lloyd has come up with a crazy plan to raise money for charity.
Four years ago he completed the marathon in a deep sea divers suit complete with lead boots. He has also run an underwater marathon in Loch Ness, and ridden across Australia on a penny-farthing bicycle.
This year's idea came when he realised the Marathon was on April 23 - St George's Day.
