Captain Tobias: Sheffield boy, 10, completes Ironman challenge
Supporters cheered Tobias Weller as he crossed the finishing line in a Sheffield park
A boy who raised more than £150,000 for charity during the pandemic has finished a year-long Ironman challenge.
Tobias Weller, 10, from Sheffield, who has cerebral palsy and autism, set himself a series of challenges including running a marathon last year.
He completed the last few metres of a 4km (2.5 mile) swim on Saturday and crowds cheered him on at the end of a 180km (112 mile) trike on Sunday.
Finishing the epic challenge, he said he felt "magnificent".
Flanked by supporters in Millhouses Park, the young fundraiser said he was "chuffed to bits" - something which has since become his catchphrase.
It has taken a year for Tobias Weller to complete his epic challenge
Inspired by the fundraising efforts of Captain Sir Tom Moore, he was nicknamed "captain" and went on to meet his hero.
