Veteran beats the odds to run Boston Marathon

By: Mackenzie Wolf, March 27, 2017
Aaron Hale is no stranger to struggle. Six years after a roadside bomb blinded him and just two years after a case of meningitis rendered him deaf, Hale has a new challenge to conquer: The 2017 Boston Marathon.

"He's one story that needs to be shared. Not only is it essentially miraculous what function he has now, but it's miraculous of his spirit. It's miraculous the power of the mind over the human body," his doctor, Nicholas DeFlumeri, told the  Boston Herald.

More of him here including pictures. The OP needed that, I don't think I saw one of him.
