This is Alex Roca Campillo. He has cerebral palsy and just became the first person in the world with a 76% disability to finish a marathon. Truly inspiration .

Well done marathon training is really tough for an able bodied person. This is astounding.
Well done that man.

If he can muster this much strength to do this, imagine how strong his mind really is.

Taken from the original post – Alex Roca is spanish. The x% of disability is a metric used here in Spain.
Essentially being “legally” disabled isn’t just a boolean thing here. An example: A person with three amputated fingers might have a 20% disability. While a blind person might have a 70% disability. This criteria is established nationally and it has to be declared by a doctor.
The % of disability is used for things like job applications, applying to financial aid, access to health programs, tax exemptions, etc… companies get “rewarded” for hiring a set amount of people with over X% disability.

Bravo Alex!
Mind over matter.
This gives me the right kind of feels
[*Just* happened in March 2023.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%80lex_Roca_Campillo)
So awesome.
As a whole I’m a pretty pessimistic and depressed person but this made me smile
That’s fuckin dope, kuddos my man
First off, legendary feat by this dude 💪🏻
But the title says “just completed” when this was done in 2023. If you’re gonna karma farm at least do the man the service of getting the facts right.
Wow no excuses. I give myself too many.
Every other person who has run a marathon had a 100 percent disability.
sure he can outrun most Americans. makes you think what’s really a disability.
