Kenny Frith caught a fast ride to the finish line of the American Discovery Trail Marathon with the help of about 50 AFA cadets. (We'll keep you posted on his official time) Here the story of Kenny and his father, Gary: A year ago, Gary and Kenny Frith were the talk of the American Discovery Trail Marathon. Gary, a retired Air Force Academy graduate (1978), pushed Kenny, his son who suffers from Cerebral Palsy, in a large wheeled jogger for the entire 26 miles to raise funds for the Cerebral Palsy Association of Colorado Springs. But Gary has bigger plans this year. He has enlisted the help of about 50 of his old AFA squadron mates. The plan is to push Kenny to a new ADT Marathon record on Sept. 6. Read it here.
