Pete Quinn loved to run. He ran the Chicago Marathon in 2010 & Bix7 race over 25 times. On the morning of April 16th, 2011 he was training for the Chicago Marathon. Pete was excited about starting his dream job on Monday. As he walked across a street, he was hit by a speeding van running the red light. He flew 30 ft suffering a spinal cord injury. After 1 month in the hospital and 2 months in rehab, he is now home. Pete is continuing rehab daily. This blog will update you on his progress.
After a year I am finally walking in KAFOs again!
Here I am with Christine Powills at the Alexian Brothers Rehabilitation facility. I am finally up and walking in my KAFOs. What is unique here is that I can now advance the right leg fairly well while doing so without a slider on my shoe. Thank God! I also now have freakish upper body strength, a little different from my long distance running physique.
