“Typically, what I like to do, is I like to stay active and I have the philosophy that Motion is Lotion.” ~ Candice Caesar ***After an accident while on active duty in Germany, doctors told Candice that she would never walk again. It was then and there, that Candice was inspired to walk a marathon. It took many years of physical recovery, going from a wheelchair to walking with a cane before Candice would run her first road race. Even more than that, it took many years of striving to overcome depression before Candice was ready to set out on the road to physical fitness. Candice describes her faith as being vital to eventual success. While suffering through chronic neuropathic pain due to the injuries sustained by her accident in 1999, Candice, a walking quadriplegic, has run 26 marathons, and handcycled 11 marathons. Candice has qualified for the Boston Marathon four times consecutively times. She is a member of the Achilles International Freedom Team and has received three Golden Philipedes Awards from USA Track and Field. Candice is an archer, triathlete and soon to be 50 states Half-Marathon Finisher. Canidce also works as Speech and Language Pathologist.  She aspires to inspire recovery through a commitment to fitness and exercise.**** You can find Candice on Instagram @kandi___kane (https://www.instagram.com/kandi___kane/) .
