Photo: 32 yr old Double amputee Richard Whitehead of Nottingham GBR runs in the 113th Boston Marathon flanked by two unnamed guides. Richard is an amazing individual and he has a blog located here: Richard Whitehead Marathon Champ.
He says on his blog, “If I could sum up everything I do, it would be what’s tattooed on my right arm: Cometh the hour, cometh the man.”
In 2008 Richard ran in marathons located in Rome, London, Pietermaritzburg and Kilimanjaro. An amazing person with a desire to compete with “able-bodied counterparts” as he puts it.
I say, kudos to Richard Whitehead for running in the Boston marathon!
