I have been an amputee for just over 20 years ( BK left leg ). On October
30, 2000 I will celebrate my 55th birthday. On the 29th of October,
because it is on Sunday, I plan to walk and run 55 miles. I have run 4
marathons since 1995, so I'm comfident I can do it in 12 to 14 hours.
The purpose of the event is to demonstrate the value of quality prosthetic
components and quality prosthetic support. In addition, I want to point
out the amputees responsibility his or her rehabilitation.
If anyone has any advice, information or experience in long duration
walking or running by amputees please pass it along to Gary Bertelsen at
