This is totally inspiring to me, although it makes me feel like a wimp for only running one marathon next month!! Check out this website: 2goodlegs.org. This woman was inspired by a patient of Phil's to promote awareness for amputees and earn money for the Challenged Athlete Foundation. She is running 18 marathons in 18 days and will run from the top of Utah to the bottom. She's running the St. George Marathon on October 3, then will finish up on the 4th. Some people are just amazing!
We got to meet Lorie on Wednesday at her kick off event. It was held at a bar in Salt Lake. So guess who didn't even think about bringing her ID? Yep, me. They wouldn't let me in!! I apparently don't look over 35!! (I was quite embarrassed!) So she was kind enough to come outside and meet me. Quite an amazing woman and story!!
But the real inspiration is Phil's patient. I've been touched as I've been able to spend time with her the last few days. She is an amazing person who's life was turned upside down, but has managed to come out of it right side up. Phil's lucky enough to be able to deal with people like this on a daily basis and I'm honored to get a chance to meet a few. You can read more about Lisa here.

Wow! I just read all about it. That is really incredible. I can't even fathom how someone could do 18 in 18 days. One killed me for a week afterwards. Good luck with yours...and you are not a wimp. :)
