Michael Ring was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome after getting food poisoning in 2014 .

He had to relearn how to walk after spending 135 days in the hospital.

Ring is preparing to toe the line at Sunday 's TCS New York City Marathon .

He has had 10 surgeries in the last decade to make his fingers easier to hold.

He quit the PPTC Endurance Fest 50-kilometer race last December around mile 13 , out of 31 , because he was soaked from the rain.

He said to himself he would heal up and finish another race.

“I just figure, I got to show them that you might fall into a big hole, and you got to try to climb out.”.
