Air Force marathon

Hi my name is Scott Kurtz and I am raising funds to accomplish the goal of pushing a quadriplegic friend Chris 26.2 miles through the Air Force marathon. He will also be bringing his friend Holly who is a down syndrome athlete that is being pushed through as well by a friend coming from Wisconsin. Here is a little bit about Chris.

Hello, my name is Chris, I am a quadriplegic (have been since birth) athlete focusing on 5k and 10ks, half and full marathons and both Ironman and Spartan events. I love to participate in events like this both for the satisfaction of the competition as well as my goal to demonstrate to others who are handicapped (and those who are not) that they too are capable of participating in events such as this.

It is my personal goal to raise awareness to the public by running a marathon in every State. Currently, I have competed in Texas, Louisiana, Washington D.C., Nevada and Mississippi. Additionally, I have traveled internationally to Mexico for an Ironman event (as well as in Florida and Texas). Additionally, I have completed three Spartan events, two in Florida and one in Pennsylvania.

we are hoping to raise money for lodging, meals, and gas expenses to get these athletes to the race and back home again. Anything above our fundraising goal will be able to help out future expenses for these awesome athletes.
