Annette Fredskov – 366 maratonas num ano contra a Esclerose Múltipla!

“At one point I was really sad about being diagnosed with MS and I was feeling sorry for myself. Some days were very hard and I thought, ‘What am I going to do? I can’t work, I’m so tired and I’m going to sit in a wheelchair. Then I got my act together and I thought, ‘I’m feeling sorry for myself and I’m sick and it’s not the way I wanted things to be, but I can decide for myself what I am going to do from now.'”

The outlet for this enduring commitment to vitality was running — a whole lot of running.

A glutton for punishment, Fredskov decided to run not one but two marathons on her 365th day, spending a total of 10 hours and 45 minutes pounding the roads.

“When I got to the finish line, I had no words, it was overwhelming, my head was empty. The only thing going through my mind was thank you for everything. I just started crying — it was the best day of my life. I have a lot of those but it’s going into history.”
