Woman with Down Syndrome Makes NYC Marathon History.
Breaking Barriers > PassItOn
Kayleigh Williamson, born and raised in Austin, Texas, made history as the first woman with Down syndrome to complete the New York City Marathon. Her quest to complete the race encompassed 10 hours and 9 minutes; time filled with both high and low moments. Lighthearted dances, hugs and high fives from bystanders kept her spirits high and helped fuel her through the more difficult moments of muscle pain and fatigue.
