What an inspiration Chris Koch, born without full arms and legs finished the Calgary Marathon today. I had the pleasure of watching him cross the line. The video below from Chris Matteo – @ItsChrisMatteo captures the moment. Check out more about Chris on his website. http://www.ifican.ca/
It only takes one to change the conversation, earlier this year Chris was denied participation in the LA Marathon, so when the Scotiabank Charity Marathon in Calgary, AB caught wind of it they got on board right away!
Chris Koch, a motivational speaker born without full arms and legs says his first marathon race is dedicated to raising funds and awareness for Calgary’s Inn From The Cold shelter.
Chris Koch hopes to raise $10,000 to help end child and family homelessness by long-boarding his way through the Calgary marathon.
