I can NOT believe the things people here have said. "The man whos walking this Marathon is 5 times the person you’ll ever be, and he’s crippled." So now being a "cripple" makes one automatically less of a person? 'Cause thats sure how your post reads. Obviously, if a cripple can be a better person than a non-cripple, than that able-bodied person must be a really, really crappy individual. Seriously? Do you pay a lick of attention to the things you say?

And to those of you who think that his "running" the marathon is sad or pathetic or whatever- get a life. I am impressed. He is finding his own way to both come to terms with and make some positive come from his disability.

Oh, and by the by, we "cripples" prefer the term disabled.
