Jacky Hunt-Broers ma，who lost one leg to cancer，is seeking to break a world record by completing 102 marathon runs.She set her goal in mid-January.And since then，she has been running the distance of a marathon.Most of the time，she averages just over five hours to complete a run.If she keeps successfully completing marathon runs every day，she will reach her goal by April 28.
   Until five years ago，she was not very active.But then she looked into running and decided to give it a try.The sport ended up being quite costly.Currently，she runs on an artificial leg made of a strong，light material known as carbon fiber.The material，which is designed specially for running，costs about ﹩10，000.
   But Jacky says her investment has been well worth it.The biggest struggle used to be that she had to admit part of her body was gone."Running really changed my life，" she said."It helped me accept myself as an amputee（截肢者）.It gave me a sense of freedom.I fell in love with the process of pushing my body further just to see what I could do."
   However，she has faced both physical and mental difficulties during her record-breaking attempt.On one recent day，Jacky said she felt like giving up at 24 kilometers and began to cry."I had a total emotional breakdown.I was like，'T just can't do this.'" she said.
   Jacky is documenting her progress online and has also gained a large social media following.As she nears the end of her goal，Jacky is hoping to inspire a single thought in others.She tells people，"You're stronger than you think and you're able to do so much more."

   As for the future of Books N Bros，Keys and his mom hope to expand the programs reach throughout the country.

3．My First Marathon（馬拉松） A month before my first marathon，one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks，leaving me only two weeks to train.Yet，I was determined to go ahead.
   I remember back to my 7th year in school.In my first P.E.class，the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball.I didn't do either well.He later informed me that I was "not athletic".
   The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years.When I started running in my 30s，I realized running was a battle against myself，not about competition or whether or not I was athletic.It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills!
   The night before my marathon，I dreamed that I couldn't even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous，but ready to prove something to myself.
   Shortly after crossing the start line，my shoe laces（鞋帶）became untied.So I stopped to readjust.Not the start I wanted!
   At mile 3，I passed a sign："GO FOR IT，RUNNERS!"
   By mile 17，I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.Despite the pain，I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
   By mile 21，I was starving!
   As I approached mile 23，I could see my wife waving a sign.She is my biggest fan.She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m.or questioned my expenses on running.
   I was one of the final runners to finish.But I finished!And I got a medal.In fact，I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
   Determined to be myself，move forward，free of shame and worldly labels（世俗標簽），I can now call myself a "marathon winner".
