Paralyzed woman completes the London Marathon

We apologize, but our coverage of the London Olympics has been woefully inadequate.  To make up for it, we’ll share this story about the power of the human spirit, the potentials of technology, and the idiocy of bureaucrats.    In 2007, Claire Lomas was paralyzed from the chest down in a horse riding accident.  In 2012, after a grueling 16-day effort, she became the first paralyzed person to complete the London Marathon.  This article from the London’s Telegraph will tell you about Claire and her triumphant human spirit, this link to Argo Medical Technologies will tell you about the ReWalk suit that made her achievement possible, and this article from the Daily Mail will tell you about the bureaucrats who won’t recognize her finish because she didn’t do it in 24 hours.
