Injured Mo. Soldier Takes On NYC Marathon (video)

Injured Mo. Soldier Takes On NYC Marathon

WASHINGTON -- A soldier from Clinton, Mo., who was injured in Iraq is tackling another mission -- a marathon.
Spc. Chris Rutter lost both of his legs to a roadside bomb south of Baghdad, but he said that won't stop him from testing the limits of his strength and endurance.
On Sunday, only six months after he was injured, he will compete in the New York City Marathon using a cycle that is powered by his hands.
