On this episode of Le Run Down I spoke with amputee ultrarunner and cancer survivor, Jacky Hunt-Broersma.
Originally from South Africa, she moved around a lot before eventually calling Arizona her home. In 2001 a cancer diagnosis required the amputation of her leg, but eventually she found running which gave her a new outlook on life.
Today she holds multiple endurance records as an amputee runner. Most recently completing 104 marathons in 104 straight days for charity, proving that we are all capable of extraordinary things.
