New York City Marathon

Hand Cycling- Because Running is Not An Option...Yet...

On November 1st I will be taking my hand cycle 26 miles in the New York City marathon, and can't wait!! I will be riding for Team Reeve and this will be my first time at this event. There is going to be over 50,000 people in the race, so I'm sure its going to be an experience I'll never forget. I try and ride my bike 4 times a week and making sure that I go at least 14 or more miles each day. Between all the dieting, working out, and biking I'm feeling pretty good about myself and can't wait to see what happens. Stay tuned!!!!

Dustin Shillcox’s life drastically changed when he was in a car accident August 2010 and sustained major spinal cord damage, a broken upper arm, collapsed lungs, broken ribs, cracked sternum & mild brain injury. Dustin’s complete T-5 spinal cord injury (SCI) left him with no feeling below his mid-chest, causing paralysis from the chest down.

Now paralyzed, and living his life in a wheel chair, Dustin was told he would never again be able to move below his waist again, but after participating in a cutting edge SCI research project, at the University of Kentucky in Louisville, he is now able to move his legs and stand once again. Dustin is living his life to the fullest, sharing his story, journey of overcoming obstacles, and faith while raising funds for spinal cord research. Through his motivational speaking and the Dustin Shillcox Foundation, he is helping to improve the lives of people in wheelchairs.

Dustin delivers an inspiring message about never giving up, and the power of a positive attitude in his speech "What Are You Gonna Do Now?"
