Man with muscular dystrophy inishes 3rd marathon
CHICAGO (AP) — A Venezuelan man with muscular
dystrophy was the last runner
to cross the inish line of the
Chicago Marathon — nearly 17
hours after he started the race.
Maickel Melamed, 38, of
Caracas inished the 26.2-mile
race at 1:30 a.m. Monday in 16
hours and 46 minutes.
About 100 people cheered
him on as he inished. He received a inisher’s medal.
He put forth a positive message of achieving dreams, ofering several inspirational quotes
after he completed the race.
“When you give it all you feel
peace inside,” Melamed said. “If
you dream it, make it happen.”
Later, he said, “When you
cross this inish line, you think
to yourself, ‘I can do anything in
my life.’ ”
One of his supporters,
Leda Santo Domingo, called
Melamed a survivor and champion.
“We’re following him because we believe that this is
almost an impossible thing to
do,” she said. “He’s doing it because his mind is so strong, and
he has in the heart a dream.”
Melamed started running
marathons two years ago, and
Chicago was his third. He has
competed in marathons in Berlin and New York City and plans
to tackle the upcoming Tokyo
and Boston races.
The winner of the Chicago
Marathon was Kenyan Dennis
Kimetto, who inished the
course in 2 hours, 3 minutes,
45 seconds.
