Amputee runner, 54, builds strength for Alpine ultramarathon

She lost her lower left leg after a motorcycle crash and taught herself to walk and run with a prosthetic.

Running later led her to marathons, triathlons and ultramarathons.

At 54, she worked with a coach to build strength and endurance for a race in the Alps.

Her story shows how steady training can help someone pursue challenging goals after a major injury.
