Claire Lomas who is paralyzed from the chest down was able to race in the London Marathon with a bionic suit. It took her 16 days to complete a 26.2 marathon. Since she couldn't finsh the race in one day she didn't get ranked, but organizers gave her a special trophy and other runners gave her their placing medals. Claire became paralyzed in a horse back riding accident and has wanted to be in the race ever since it happened.
What do you think?

Awh! I think that is absolutly amazing. Especially the good teamates who gave her there trophy. She did when the best prize of all though. Proving to herself she could do it. That just proves, you can do anything with alittle faith.
Thats awesome! That would kind stink having to walk 16 days but it good that she finally did it. thats really nice too the people gave her there awards too.
That is very cool! The fact that she stuck in it for 16 days is amazing. Inspiring, just like that one guy who ran a 46(?) second 400m without legs. He is a champion, just as she is!
This is just amazing! im so glad she got to finish that race even though it took her 16 days she still completed it. Its so sad that she paralyzed though but im glad she set her mind to that and finished it.
I think thats awesome that someone was that dedicated to do a marathon while paralyzed.
I think its great that she got to race in a marathon. It was a really nice gesture that the other runners gave her their medals.
That is nice of the others who gave her their medals and ribbons that they earned. This girl seems very determined and she never gave up which is awesome!
this is amazing! she is so brave. I hope that people are inspried by her! She is truly the strongest lady i have ever heard of. I dont know if i could do this, i wonder if it hurt at all?
That is such a motivating story! And it is so nice that they gave her a trophy, and the runners gave her their placing medals.
