.mama_cax lost her leg to cancer over a decade ago. On Sunday, she took on the TCSNYCMarathon in a handcycle 🙌

, was able to get a grant for a handcycle and used that to train."They're basically an organization that provide equipment for anyone who's interested in joining sports and wants to find adaptive ways to do it," she told POPSUGAR."What I really like about them is that you don't have to participate in sports competitively to be able to get a grant for equipment.

The NYC Marathon had been in the back of Cax's mind for a while before she actually decided to set her sights on the race. Her goal was to finish in two to two-and-a-half hours, though she ended up clocking in at 3:31:37."I'm obviously proud that I was able to finish it, but if I were to do it again, my goal would be to do it in a shorter amount of time," she said.

."Sometimes they were the only indicators that you were halfway through," Cax said."They would tell you, 'This is the last bridge you're crossing,' or 'You're almost at the finish line,' and that kind of gets you going." Areas where the crowds were particularly encouraging included Brooklyn and Harlem .
