DULUTH, MN (KDAL) – Former Grandma’s Marathon record-holder Dick Beardsley is battling a serious infection that has already resulted in over ten surgeries and will require more in the future.
That has affected his ability to work as a motivational speaker and fishing guide.
To help with medical costs, friends have set up a go fund me site for the Beardsley’s at www.gofundme.com/f/am55wp.
Beardsley has won Grandma’s Marathon twice and held the record for more than thirty years before it was broken in 2014.
Grandma’s Marathon says he has also been a constant ambassador of the city and the race and returns each year for the expo and to be a part of broadcasting the event.
