Former jockey Josh Moore is to run in this weekend’s London Marathon with sister Hayley 12 months after nearly losing his life.
Moore broke his leg, several ribs, suffered a punctured lung and damaged his lower back when the horse he was riding came down and fell on top of him at Haydock in April last year.
Then he developed a life-threatening infection, as a result of which he was sedated and put on a ventilator to help him breathe. He spent the next three months in hospital, returning home to West Sussex in July.
