Double Lung and Kidney Transplant Recipient Completes Chicago Marathon
A double lung and kidney transplant recipient, who also battled skin cancer and was placed in a coma due to Covid-19 complications, completed the Chicago marathon.
David Crosby ran his fourth marathon, his first since Covid-19 lockdowns, in ten and a half hours, alongside his wife and recent kidney donor, Katie.
The inspirational athlete walked the gruelling route, flanked by friends Sean Maher, Andy O'Brien, and Dave McNally, who helped carry a one-and-a-half stone Portable Oxygen Concentrator backpack, which David needed to help his lung function.
The feat was more remarkable because he had to sideline his recent training when he fractured his knee and then had to undergo an operation to remove a mole after being diagnosed with skin cancer.
David Crosby's determination and perseverance are an inspiration to all.
