For our last story of people overcoming adversity this week, I found the beautiful story of Katie Cooke, a young woman who competes in long distance running races despite having epilepsy.  And Katie doesn’t just a have a seizure every once in a while either, she suffers from 14 per day!

Yet she gets out on the trail and runs and runs. She’ll have a seizure, fall to the ground and when it’s over, she dusts herself off and keeps on running. 

On top of all that she has an attitude of joy and gratitude. To her life is something to be enjoyed and experienced regardless of the obstacles. 

So listen to today’s short, enjoy the link to the short video about Katie below, and gain some perspective on what overcoming obstacles really looks like.
