South Carolina man takes part in 10K using exoskeleton

CHARLESTON, SC (WTVD) -- A South Carolina man paralyzed 10 years ago was able to finish a 10K race this weekend with the help of a robotic exoskeleton.

Adam Gorlitsky was left paralyzed from the waist down in a car accident. Doctors said he'd never walk again.

But this weekend he was able to make 26,000 steps with his machine and finish the annual Cooper River Bridge Run.

He told reporters it was an incredibly proud moment.
