2024 Gaylord Gauntlet Featured Adaptive Athlete: Anthony Picchione

www.gaylord.org
Each year, a featured adaptive athlete participates in the Gaylord Gauntlet 5k & Obstacle Run and is supported through the course by a team from the Gaylord Sports Association (gaylord.org/sports). This year's athlete was Anthony Picchione. Anthony had a spinal cord injury as the result of a motocross accident and is paralyzed from the chest down. He completed the course after battling the sun, mud, and many challenging obstacles. Anthony, as with our many other adaptive athletes, found that he could do far more than he ever thought possible, both physically and mentally. Proceeds from the Gauntlet support the Gaylord Sports Association, which provides more than 20 adaptive sports for individuals with a permanent physical or visual disability.
