Living to 100 Club
Injuries and Chronic Ailments
We always hear stories of fantastic accomplishments – how people overcome great hardships and reach unimaginable heights.
Roderick Sewell is a perfect example. He had both legs amputated as a child because he was born without tibias but was determined to not let these amputations hold him back. But, after years of membership in the Challenged Athletes Foundation, he went on to become the first double amputee to compete in and complete the Ironman Triathlon World Championship – a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike race (on a handcycle), and a 26-mile marathon (on prostheses and running blades). He now manages his own fitness studio to train triathletes.
Obstacles will always surface, like disabling arthritis, a heart attack or respiratory condition, dementia, or stroke. Facing these obstacles is the key to moving ahead.
