.@mdbarr8 didn’t let the loss of his leg to bone cancer keep him from pursuing his dreams. Instead, he became an elite athlete and made a career out of helping others. His story of resilience is one to remember.

great catching up with @mdbarr8 to get his perspective as a nurse and paralympian on pandemic fight

Catching up with old racing buddies. (Well I’m the old one, @mdbarr8 still has a lot more winning to do!). Mark won the best athlete award @CAFoundation and was undefeated last season. And he’s getting another degree full time. #badass. Great to see you brother.
