The next time it seems like too much trouble to cross the room to pick up the remote, think about this: a man with muscular dystrophy finished the Boston Marathon, despite rain and cold.
Maickel Melamed of Venezuela, the final racer, crossed the finish line early Wednesday morning. He has participated in the race four times.
Everybody, get off the couch and applaud.
