Kentucky teen completes Chicago Marathon after paralysis

A Kentucky teenager, Wyatt Anderson, completed the Chicago Marathon less than a year after suffering a severe spinal injury that left him temporarily paralyzed from the neck down. Injured while playing basketball, he underwent spinal fusion surgery and months of rehabilitation before finishing the race, motivated by a story about a wheelchair marathoner. Anderson, who previously completed a half marathon, aimed to inspire others and raised over $24,000 for the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation with his brother.
