}}Dave Heeley, a father-of-three from West Bromwich, who is nicknamed Blind Dave, is the first blind person to complete the seven-marathon challenge in 2008.[1] The first marathon was in the Falkland Islands, via Rio de Janeiro, Los Angeles, Sydney, Dubai, Tunis and culminating at the Flora London Marathon. Heeley was aged 50 at the time of his achievement. Heeley, from West Bromwich, has run 10 marathons in 10 days travelling from John O'Groats to Land's End, and cycled between each stage.[2] Prior to the 2012 Olympics in London, Heeley carried the Olympic Torch on a 300-metre stretch of the relay in Cobridge, Stoke-on-Trent, on 31 May 2012,[3] before taking part in the opening ceremony of the Paralympics on 29 August 2012.[4] In 2012, National Express West Midlands named a bus Dave Heeley in Heeley's honour.[5] He has since taken part in 7inSeven, a 700-mile week-long bike ride between Zurich and Birmingham in aid of Help Harry Help Others.[6] In late 2016, UK film production company, Pixel Revolution Films announced that they were producing a short film based on the life of Dave Heeley and his experiences completing the 2008 seven-marathon challenge. Entitled 7 Days, the film will go into production in early 2017, and will be directed by Ian and Dominic Higgins and produced by Nigel Martin Davey.[7] References1. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1584959/Blind-Daves-7-day-marathon-ends-in-London.html |title=Blind Dave's 7-day marathon ends in London |accessdate=2011-11-17 |last= Dutter|first= Barbie|coauthors= |date= 2008-04-13|work= The Daily Telegraph|publisher= |pages= |quote= }} {{DEFAULTSORT:Heeley, Dave}}2. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-14589680 |title='Blind Dave' Heeley completes 10 marathons in 10 days |accessdate=2011-11-17 |last= |first= |coauthors= |date= 2011-08-19|format= |work= BBC News|publisher= |pages= |quote= }} 3. ^{{cite news |author= |title=Blind Dave Heeley’s Olympic Flame honour |url=https://www.expressandstar.com/news/2012/05/31/blind-dave-heeley%E2%80%99s-olympic-flame-honour/?rs |newspaper=Express & Star |location= |date=31 May 2012 |accessdate=20 April 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-19296722 |title='Blind Dave' Heeley given Paralympics opening ceremony role |author= |date=17 August 2012 |website=BBC News |accessdate=20 April 2014}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://nxbus.co.uk/west-midlands/news/bus-for-local-hero-blind-dave-heeley-/ |title=Bus for local hero Blind Dave Heeley |author= |date=12 July 2012 |publisher=National Express West Midlands |accessdate= |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140421082416/https://nxbus.co.uk/west-midlands/news/bus-for-local-hero-blind-dave-heeley-/ |archivedate=2014-04-21 |df= }} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.wba.co.uk/news/article/blind-dave-on-his-bike-for-charity-879383.aspx |title=www.wba.co.uk/news/article/blind-dave-on-his-bike-for-charity-879383.aspx |author= |date=21 September 2013 |website=www.wba.co.uk |accessdate=20 April 2014}} 7. ^http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/film-news/sir-ranulph-fiennes-backs-new-12296088 5 : Year of birth missing (living people)|Living people|Sportspeople with a vision impairment|Sportspeople from West Bromwich|Blind people from England |
