Hi, I’m a head injured survivor who is interested in observing the job sights around the NYRR Foundation so I can help out one of these days. By all means, following my concussion at age 9 people in the town I grew up in only gave me dim chances of recovering either physically or mentally. However I pushed myself into running the Houston Tenneco Marathon at age 17 after watching the Boston Marathon my sophmore year of high school. And today I’ve run in 9 marathoner’s from Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Nashville, and San Diego with the plans of touring the world to show disabled people what they can do whether they are on a medication for seizures or anything like it. Hopefully, you will be able to learn more about me if I’m able to participate in the NYC half marathon this coming November. Indeed, some people who suffer a disability can do a whole lot more than they are given credit for. It takes determination to run 26 miles!!!
