Marathon running is about enriching your life and, for some, creating a new start to your life or finding a new purpose.

Everyone should know that there are people out there, such my family, my prosthetist, who has been great at helping me get back on my feet, and the people at Össur who are willing to help out and welcome you with open arms.

I knew I had a difference, but to me it wasn’t an obstacle.

I try to show everybody that disability is not a handicap. You can still do anything you want in life.

Giving up was not an option.

Sport is a part of my DNA.

My influence is to inspire others and to make them believe that if I can do it, they can do it too.

My prosthesis has always been part of me and makes every hurdle conquerable. For me, sprinting is like art, because the work is in the detail.

Never settle just because you are an amputee.

I have heard it from other athletes – para and able-bodied – there’s a story from everyone.

This was my dream when I was a kid. This is where I want to be.

Being born with limb difference doesn’t define me. It’s simply a small part of me, and it won’t hold me back unless I let it.

Keep trying, trying, trying and you will be better at what you want to be.

There will always be something in life that tries to hold us back or stop us from being great.  But I refuse to EVER let anyone tell me I can’t do something.

We can do more than we ever imagined if we just dare ourselves to push a little harder, go a little further.

My mission is to show that an impairment does not have to be a limitation. You can do so much more than you think.

Once I put the blade on, I fell in love. I always tell people, when I run, I feel like I have 2 feet again.
