Meet the Queens man who recovered from a serious brain injury to run the New York City Marathon this Sunday. JohnBDias shares his story:
We're just a few days away from the New York City Marathon, with 50,000 runners expected to participate Sunday.
Every runner knows your sneakers need to have proper support. But if you ask 65-year-old Mauricio Blandino, the best support he gets comes from within. In 2011, Blandino fell down the stairs of his Jackson Heights, Queens home and was knocked unconscious. It led to a serious brain injury that required surgery.
He lost his ability to walk, balance and see properly, and he was hospitalized at Mount Sinai Hospital for a month. He had to do extensive rehab to gain just the basic skills again, and to this day, still struggles at times.
