Proud single dad completes Manchester half marathon with his two-year-old daughter on his back

A proud single dad from Stockport has completed the Manchester half marathon with his two-year-old daughter strapped on to his back.

Chris Greenbank, 36, a stonemason, took just under three hours to complete the 13.1 miles with his tot strapped to a hiking carrier on his back and says the experience was wonderfully bonding for him and his daughter.

He says his little girl rested her hand on his shoulder and kept it there for the whole duration of the run, which took place in Trafford. Chris says: "Our bond isn't something you can even put into words. My heart is full."
