Marathon for diabled mother and son

This Journey Began Before Starting Line - NYTimes.com

Nadine had a stroke at age eight, losing the use of her right arm and right leg. She uses a hand cycle, and uses duck tape to keep her right hand on the pedal.

Tyler, her son, is autistic and the love of Nadine's life. He has a severe speech delay. A hoopster, a special olympian, and now a marathon runner.

Nadine will be passing by Tyler tomorrow in the New York City Marathon.

Here's to Tyler's first marathon!
