ATTILA IN THE MEDIA
Below are a few media tidbits, which featured some of Attila's accomplishments.
Attila's interview with Pittsburgh mayoral candidate, Tony Moreno. October 21, 2021
|
Thursday, May 20, 2021 11:50 p.m Attila was on-set, shooting a short film/promotional pitch for the idea of an action film THE QUADFATHER. It's a story of a paralyzed man who's had enough of the criminal element, and when he found himself in the middle of a robbery, he had a life altering decision to make. The story and character are the brainchild of Brian P. Swift and Dominick Domasky, and Attila got to play the role of the main character. "I think it's a pretty cool idea" said Domos, "and the experience of being on set for an action film is totally new to me, so I had a blast". For more on the story, read the Trib article, by Patrick Varine: Oak Street in Irwin used for 'Quadfather' film shoot | TribLIVE.com |
|
The chase is over, Attila has the UNOFFICIAL longest 24-hour handcycle ride in the world (407.7 miles), and in another ride set the solo track record with 366 miles, though it hasn't yet been verified by Guinness. He's now moving on to the next challenge. Look for big things to come, as he keeps upping the anti.
Attila would like to thank his sponsors, who grew in numbers and have supported him over the past 3 years:

July 27, 2017... chatting with Wendy Bell at Spirit, during "Attila's Next Step" fundraiser. If you didn't make it, you missed a great time. Wendy is one of the most awesome people you'll ever meet, and she was hilarious as our emcee. Thank you Wendy, with all of my heart.
Below are also a couple of LIVE feeds, one with the hilariously sarcastic Allen Levine "the talking machine". When he and I get going, it becomes a contest of sarcasm... lol. Thanks for being there, bud! If you missed the event but would still like to be a part of what we're doing, a $25 donation (or more) gets you into the final credits of our film as a "contributor". Just click on the video for the GoFundMe... World Record Attempt, and it'll redirect you to our fundraiser website. A HUGE "THANK YOU" to everyone who showed up last night, and helped make the evening a total success. THANK YOU!... THANK YOU!... THANK YOUUUUU!! :) |

Recently, Attila even popped up as one of the names for a Verizon trivia question. FYI... Attila did NOT win the 2014 Pittsburgh Marathon, since he wasn't in it. He got out of the hospital a couple of months prior to that year's race, after spending three and a half years in bed, dealing with skin breakdown issues, wounds, and several bouts with osteomyelitis. Attila won the 2010 Pittsburgh Marathon.

Apparently you can spot Attila on buses, across the state of Pennsylvania. This photo was taken by Ann Kagan on August 9, 2013, in the Philadelphia area.
Attila was the featured athlete in the Trib, to advertise for the 2011 Pittsburgh Marathon. Even though due to health issues, he wasn't able to take part in the race, the publicity did NOT hurt.
The below article was written by Christine Heiner, for the November 2011 issue of the University of Pittsburgh's HERL Newsletter.
Attila vs the Mountain fundraiser for the Spinal Cord Society - November 16, 1996. Attila was awarded a proclamation by then Pittsburgh Mayor, Tom Murphy.
