Paralympic inspiration Jacqui Kapinowski hosts Marine Corps Marathon
TEQUESTA, Fla. (CBS12) — Tequesta’s Jacqui Kapinowski is a 9 -time Paralympic World Championship Medalist in four sports. She’s overcome cancer twice, and is still recovering from a stroke last July. But nothing can stop her mission.
Jacqui’s latest mission is this Sunday’s Marine Corp Marathon on Jupiter Island to honor our veterans and first responders, celebrating the 45th anniversary of the official Marine Corps Marathon, which was cancelled in Virginia this year because of COVID-19. It’s the first big event for Jacqui’s newly formed non-profit ‘Shifting Gears United’, and it’s an event that’s inspired 50 wounded veterans and first responders to take part.
“To see how it makes them feel (inspires me),” says Kapinowski. “They’ll receive a medal from the Marine Corp Marathon, but I personally made a medal for each and every one of them.”
The marathon and 10 K starts at 8 a.m. at Coral Cove Park, with a Beach & BBQ party after with masks required. To register for the marathon, or to make a donation, contact Jacqui at Shifting Gears United.
