Running peas and those inspired by others overcoming - vote?

A friend is helping "campaign" to get her running buddy on the cover of Runners' World. He could walk 8 years ago and last year was stopped before being able to finish Boston due to the bombing. This year he finished it in under 8 hours. 

I know the power of the peas and would love to see a non traditional "runner" on the cover.
