A grandad who ran the father's race for his granddaughter’s sports day fractured his arm after he tripped at the finish line - but says it was all in "good spirit".<br /><br />James Kewley, 46, had promised to run in the race after his five-year-old granddaughter, Ella, begged him to take part on June 16 2023.<br /><br />Little Ella won all her races, as did her mum, Georgia Kewley, 25, and James was hoping to do the same when it was his turn.<br /><br />James was running well until he tripped on a bump in the grass, falling on his face and crushing his left arm underneath him.<br /><br />The owner of a construction company said he went straight back to work despite his arm being “twice the size”.<br /><br />He visited Malton Community Hospital, North Yorkshire, who told him the injury looks like a fracture.<br /><br />James is due to go back on Monday for an x-ray to confirm the injury.<br /><br />James, from Malton, North Yorkshire, said: “The grass was so dry. I must have hit a bump and I crushed my arm.<br /><br />“It was twice the size. It was really swollen. There was a bone sticking out.<br /><br />“I have a black eye.<br /><br />“They told me it looks like a fracture.<br /><br />“But it will repair.<br /><br />“It’s all in good spirit.”<br /><br />Ella’s mum Georgia, a labourer, said she “begged” for her granddad run in the father’s race.<br /><br />She said: “She was begging him. She kept saying ‘can you do it for me grandad?’<br /><br />“When he fell I was shocked.<br /><br />“All his weight went on his arm.<br /><br />“As he sat up his arm was all twisted.<br /><br />“But he’s ok and sees the funny side.”<br /><br />Georgia said little Ella smashed all her races.<br /><br />She said: “She won them all.<br /><br />“I won the mum’s one too.<br /><br />“Then dad fell but at least he came in some sort of place.”<br /><br />James added: “Ella had her head in her hands when I fell.<br /><br />“I’m not sure I’ll do it next year.<br /><br />“Unless I’ve had a bit of training.”
