Pauly Plewa was a motocross rider who injured his brain and spinal cord in an accident in March, 2012. His chances of regaining any sensation below the chest was given at 2%.
Now, 3 years later, he is set to run 10K May 10th in the Wings For Life World run, which takes place in several cities at the same time. If I remember correctly, it is a race that is organized by another motocross racer who also injured his spinal cord resulting from a racing accident.
Regular readers of this blog know that I set a goal of running a 10K myself, and it will also be three years for me in June, 2015. I cannot yet "run" any distance longer than the length of an intersection, but I think I can improve enough to do a 5K before the end of the year - who knows, maybe even a 10k.
In any event, this is truly an inspirational story reported by cbcnews.com last week.
