The Peachtree Road Race is a 10K, 6.2 mile, course. Standing on the sidewalk at the 4 1/2 mile mark I saw many amazing athletes. To me, this one was the most amazing of all.

His name is Mark Greenley. He is a quadriplegic. Besides that, why do I think he's the most amazing athlete of all?

To tackle the course in a wheelchair is amazing in itself. But of all the wheelchair athletes Mark did not come in first or the top tier. In fact he was dead last. He finished just before the sweeper van would have picked him up as all wheelchair athletes must be off the course when the runners finish.

There's no fame or glory for Mark. There's no winners prize for Mark. There is only the satisfaction that he could try and that he did. And he's done it 9 times!
