ADEC’s dynamic Duo Team of Chacriyar Chhuon and Kyle Hankins  finished the 2015 Chicago Marathon in about seven hours Sunday, making ADEC and marathon history. This was the first year athletes with disabilities requiring assistance from a partner were allowed in the race as Duo Teams, and only four Duos entered —  three wheelchair rider and runners (including Yar and Kyle) and one blind runner with an assistant. Yar and Kyle inspired us all! Click to read a story in today’s Elkhart Truth.
