After losing her leg to a rare form of cancer, long-distance runner Jacky Hunt-Broersma spent her life overcoming physical obstacles, climatological hurdles and thousands of miles to do exactly what people said was impossible for her.
This year, for 102 straight days, Hunt-Broersma ran a full marathon — 26.2 miles — every single day. In the process, she braved fierce weather and rewrote the record books, setting a new all-time best for a woman running a marathon for the most consecutive days.
