Over the weekend the last place finisher of the Chicago Marathon didn't cross the finish line until about 1:30 a.m., but it was still a huge accomplishment. The 38 year old man from Venezuela has a disability that stems from the oxygen deprivation that occurred during his birth when the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck (according to his website). Not only has he now completed multiple marathons, but he also has multiple degrees, is a motivational speaker and has climbed the highest mountain in his home country. For the full story of his recent marathon, check out the full story from Chicago's NBC station.
