UK Man Raises Money For Charity By Dancing Across Country In A Tutu
Ben Hammond, 34, was dancing in a tutu through Polsham near Wells on 3 October when he was struck by a car driven by Alanna Rugg, 25, from Wookey, Somerset.
Both he and his support cyclist were hospitalised and the event was put on hold.
Mr Hammond reached Land's End on Saturday evening raising thousands of pounds for human rights in Burma.
He said: "Eight years ago I taught for a year in a refugee camp on the Thai-Burma border, and the experience changed my life.
"On returning home I was determined to use my freedom to help those in Burma get theirs."
Mr Hammond's support team said the teacher had enjoyed a "big burst of energy" during the final mile and a half of his challenge.
