Chasing 26.2 – Claire Lomas 2012 Virgin London Marathon Challenge

After learning of Claire Lomas and her journey to the 2012 Virgin London Marathon, I have no excuses as to why I should not complete a marathon or two. In my professional life, I’ve read about the devastation of spinal cord injuries and Claire’s story offers a ray of hope for people struggling with these injuries.

Claire Lomas suffered a devastating spinal injury horseback riding in 2007 leaving her with no sensation from her chest down.  With a fantastic support group and modern technology via ReWalk from Argomedtech, Claire decided to walk the 2012 London Marathon to raise awareness and funding for spinal injuries.

Check out her progress at Get Claire Walking Campaign.
