BUCKiT® #4-Sarah Reinertsen: Paralympian and first female amputee Ironman

BUCKiT with Phil Keoghan - A podcast by Phil Keoghan

Categories:

Sarah Reinertsen was born with a very rare genetic disorder called proximal femoral focal deficiency, a disorder that in the most extreme cases requires amputation.  At just 7 years old, Sarah had to face this worse case scenario. But for this fighter it meant the beginning of an incredible journey. After being inspired by amputee marathon runner Paddy Rossbach, Sarah began running at the age of 11. Since then, she has never looked back in her quest to overcome heartache, beat expectations, and rewrite what is possible as she attempts to take on the biggest mental and physical challenge of her life--the Kona Ironman.
