Maickel Melamed, a 38-year-old Venezuelan man with muscular dystrophy, competed in the Chicago Marathon Sunday and finished the 26.2 mile race at 1:30 a.m. Monday, nearly 17 hours after the race began. After Melamed crossed the finish line he said, ‘If you dream it, make it happen. Your life is the most beautiful thing that could happen to you’.
