ROUND ROCK - With the help of a rehabilitative training program, Jerry Kovar of Round Rock completed a five-mile walk in Dallas several weeks ago, just months after sustaining a severe compound fracture in his right leg.
Kovar got help for the race thanks to Cigna, an insurance company, and Achilles International, a group that offers running and fitness training. The two groups have joined to help those who have experienced disabling injuries pursue athletic and other personal goals.
