Ex-paratrooper Tom Neathway lost both legs and an arm in an explosion in Afghanistan but is tackling this grueling 5,000-mile race across South America.
This is the 34th edition of the race, which started in Lima on January 4 and ends in Chile on January 20.
There is the fund-raising side. Tom will be raising hopefully £1million for Help For Heroes and Tedworth House, one of the five recovery centres set up in partnership between the Ministry of Defence, Help for Heroes and the Royal British Legion.
