Struggle. Overcome. Inspire.
For Jacky Hunt-Broersma, a cancer diagnosis in her mid-twenties brought a life-changing challenge: a below-the-knee amputation. Navigating her new reality, Jacky first kept her difference hidden as she learned to walk and do daily activities using a prosthesis. Years later, inspired by her husband’s passion for races, Jacky started to run–and hasn’t stopped since. Two decades after losing her leg, she ran 104 marathons in 104 consecutive days, setting a world record.
Duct Tape and Determination is more than a running memoir–it’s a story of turning pain into purpose. With honesty and humor, Jacky shares the highs and lows of her journey: the blisters and breakdowns, the finish lines and triumphs, and the duct tape fixes that kept her moving forward.
Her story proves that persistence, positivity, and grit can take you farther than you ever imagined–wherever it is you’re hoping your life will take you.
