On his own, man with cerebral palsy hopes to finish Camp Barnabas half marathon

For the past two years, Steven Marrs — better known as Steve-O — has participated in Camp Barnabas' Big Party Half Marathon from a modified racing stroller. His buddy, Connor Petty, would push him the 13.1 miles.

But this year Marrs, who has cerebral palsy and cannot walk, hopes to complete the race on his own. He will ride his modified tricycle. Based on his training rides, Marrs figures it will take him about four hours.

Marrs and Petty have done five races together with the racing stroller, including the Bass Pro Marathon in 2014. The two met at Camp Barnabas, where Petty was a counselor.
