Don’t let the socks and sandals fool you, for most of his life, Mel Shultz has laced ‘em up and left his racing competition in the dust.
At 90 years old, Mel has competed in hundreds of races and more than 60 marathons. Even at his age, he feels running isn’t all about your physical ability.One day at Sky Ridge Senior Living in Gilbert, staff members Taylor Ashpole and Trevor Hendryx saw Mel wearing a marathon shirt and asked if runs.
“He told me he did but his goal was to run one more 5K. I figured that's what I was here to do,” said Taylor. In addition to the 90 years of miles Mel has put on his legs, all while battling Parkinson’s, the veteran was somewhat reluctant when asked if he had one race more in him.Mel’s family and the care team were able to get an adaptive chair donated.Our cameras caught Mel giving Taylor and Trevor a piece of advice while they were jogging the Friday before the race.In the last 42 yards, Taylor and Trevor will help Mel out of the chair – and he’ll cross the finish line on his own.
