AI GeneratedThe speaker celebrates the emotional achievement of completing the Six World Marathon Majors, a goal pursued over five years. Despite being diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and being told their life was over, they persevered from their first race in Chicago to their final one in Tokyo, proving that \"doing the impossible\" is achievable through determination and persistence.
Finishing a marathon is just amazing
and I just achieved getting this which I've dreamt
of for about five years.
I can't believe I finished my six world marathon majors.
It's been a long time.
I started with Chicago back in 2000, finally finishing up in Tokyo.
At the start line someone asked me why I wanted to get the six stars
and I said to them because
it was impossible.
After finishing it, it's really fun doing the impossible.
I'm just really thankful that this exists, right?
It gives you something to aim for and to aspire to.
Through this journey, I was diagnosed with RA.
My doctor told me my life was over.
But this shows you that all you have to do
is step out the door.
Now I'm gonna have the best holiday in Japan ever.
Honestly, I'm just, I'm ready to cry. I'm so proud of myself.
You know, I never thought of myself as a runner.
I never thought something like this was achievable.
And thank you, Abbott. Thank you, Six Star Program.
It's something I will cherish for the rest of my life.
