He smokes 14 cigs a day and drinks 8 pints of beer. He ran the whole marathon without drinking any water!

He's 101 years old and still works cleaning cars in London. And he does this for a charity for children.

I don't know, I think this guy might be my hero. Truly inspiring.

Thanks for the extra video! The guy has a sense of humor to boot. And he looks healthier than any 80 year old I've ever met. He might have another 20 or 30 years ahead of him.

How the heck does this guy keep going? What's his secret, I wonder??

This is going to bother me for a while..
