via MSNBC:

Jacky Hunt-Broersma, a mother of two who took up running at the age  
of 40, is out to prove naysayers wrong. 

When amputee Jacky Hunt-Broersma told her doctors six years ago that 
she wanted to take up long-distance running, they advised against it. 
Then, she decided to break world records.  

The 46-year-old mom of two is currently attempting to complete 102 
marathons in 102 days, which is the world record for women, with or 
without a disability. She recently finished the Boston Marathon on April 
18 with a 5:05:13 time, as well as other 26.2-mile races on trails near her 
home in Gilbert, Arizona, and on her treadmill. As of Monday, she had  
completed 99 marathons in 99 days.
