‘My husband says I’m crazy!’ - The amputee ultramarathon runner pushing the limits

Available for over a year

Jacky lost her leg to a type of cancer called Ewing sarcoma in 2001, but she hasn’t let that stop her achieving her dreams. She’s already completed the challenge of running 104 marathons in 104 days and is now targeting a 548km (340 miles) run from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. Jacky spoke to Sportshour’s Caroline Barker about her journey and some of the unique challenges she’s had to overcome.
