He lost his ability to speak and most of his mobility.<\/p>\n<p>Clay Walker was diagnosed with MS (Multiple Sclerosis), which is a disease that affects the central nervous system and can lead to mobility issues.<\/p>\n<p>The pair really made the most of their situation with a hilarious race as their friends pushed them down the hotel\u2019s aisle. The race was neck and neck but ended in a tie.<\/p>\n<p>After the pair ended their race, they all laughed and gave each other a fist bump. It was clear that Travis was having a blast and had the biggest smile on his face throughout the whole race.<\/p>\n<blockquote id=\"v75437623362094670\" class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@randy.travis\/video\/7521261432151772447\" data-video-id=\"7521261432151772447\">\n<blockquote id=\"v55478987501663864\" class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@randy.travis\/video\/7521261432151772447\" data-video-id=\"7521261432151772447\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\"><p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed\/v2\/7521261432151772447?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fnewsngay.com%2Flehieu%2Frandy-travis-and-clay-walker-werent-on-stage-but-they-still-stole-the-spotlight-over-the-weekend-the-two-country-stars-turned-a-quiet-hotel-hallway-into-a-racetrack-racing-in-wheelchairs%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwY2xjawLT_lxleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFVNW11M1E3RzE0VTd0Tm16AR7z64YVUm08-Jr7MEtgozTcPeaOswTrZNeb1N-T-BY7nHxRwl7Tu89RdOHFgQ_aem_ZO93prtK7u3Hv2GLsO1pdg&amp;embedFrom=oembed\" name=\"__tt_embed__v55478987501663864\" sandbox=\"allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Travis and Walker both credit their Christian faith in their healing journeys.<\/h3>\n<p>Travis has even been able to speak sparingly through therapy, hard work, and his faith.
