Amputee athlete, Jacky Hunt-Broersma, yesterday, set a new unofficial world women’s record of running 102 marathons.

The 46-year old Boston marathon finisher is now a world record-holder, for running 102 marathons in 102 straight days.

The highly-elated athlete said she had achieved her dream and promised to run two more marathons, to reach the 104 mark.

CBS described it as ‘the most consecutive marathons run by any woman ever. The Boston Marathon was number 92.’

‘Hunt-Broersma lost her leg to a rare form of cancer in 2001 and runs on a prosthetic. She runs to prove anything is possible if you set your mind to it.’

“I was told you can’t run because you’re an amputee, don’t even bother because you need prosthetics and it’s complicated and things like that. And when someone tells you that, because you suddenly can’t do it, you want to do it. That’s how my journey started,” she told WBZ-TV’s David Wade.
