by Bob Tudor (2013)

I am attempting my first marathon to raise money for Kennedy's Disease Association. Palm Beaches Marathon 2013.  

I was diagnosed with Kennedy's Disease eight years ago. I found handcycling two years ago as a way to improve my health. Handcycling has also given me my independence back. It allows me to be involved with physical activity without assistance.  I remember my first time riding the handcycle. After one lap around the cul-de-sac, my arms fatigued to failure. After three months, I was able to ride a mile. After another 2 months, I was able to reach three miles. I am currently riding 15-20 miles consistently.  This is my first marathon.  While my arms and shoulders are weak, I will try my best to finish the race. For all you gamblers out there, I won't win. I will finish.

Bob did finish the marathon and, although he did not win the race, he did win BIG time with donations for the KDA!  

For his first KDA fundraiser ever, Bob Tudor raised over $7,000 in donations!!!

Thank You Bob!
