For anyone who completes the iconic New York Marathon, the sense of achievement is huge. But for visually impaired couple Mike Lloyd, who also lives with Parkinson's Disease, and Laura Eitjes, the achievement is barely comprehensible.

This month Mike lined up alongside his guide – Three news anchor Mike McRoberts – to complete his 10th successive marathon in the Big Apple, while Laura completed her third finish in the world's number-one event.
Raised on Auckland's North Shore, Mike (48), was born with retinitis pigmentosa, a condition that slowly deteriorates sight. At school he could read with a magnifying glass, but his sight declined to where he was no longer able to read printed text by age 30.
