Batsho ukuba ubomi bunokutshintsha ngephanyazo, kodwa nge-23 kaDisemba ngo-1987, uJami Marseilles wayengacingi ngotshintsho kubomi bexesha elizayo okanye, ngenxa yayo, enye into ngaphandle kokungena endleleni ukuze yena nomntu ahlala naye babe ixesha leKrisimesi. Kodwa emva kokuba bephumile, i-blizzard yase-Arizona eyaphula irekhodi yabetha ngamandla kwaye ngokukhawuleza, yabambisa ngokukhawuleza imoto yabo. La mantombazana mabini abanjelwe emotweni yabo ngaphandle kokutya okanye ubushushu kangangeentsuku ezili-11 ngaphambi kokuba bahlangulwe. Bobabini basinda, kodwa uJami wonzakala ngokusisigxina ngenxa yeqabaka eqatha kwaye kwafuneka ukuba yomibini imilenze yakhe inqunyulwe ngaphantsi kwedolo.

Ngelo xesha, bonke ubomi baseMarseilles batshintsha.

Kodwa njengoko wayesokola ukuziqhelanisa nobomi bakhe njengendoda eyayinqunyulwe ngamalungu amabini, wayenomxhasi omnye onamandla ongazange amshiye ecaleni: Utat'omkhulu. Ngokungafaniyo nabanye ababemngqongile, wayengakholelwa ekukhohliseni ibhinqa eliselula, endaweni yoko wayelitshiza ngothando olunzima. Enye yeemvakalelo zakhe yayikukuzivocavoca umzimba kwaye wayeqinisekile ukuba ukwenza iMarseilles kulolongelo ingoyena ndoqo wokumnceda aphile kwaye aqhubeke kwingozi leyo. Ngelishwa, utat'omkhulu wakhe amthandayo wasweleka ngo-1996, kodwa uMarseilles waqhubeka elandela ingcebiso yakhe. Ngenye imini, ugqirha wakhe wamathambo wambonisa ividiyo kwiParalympics. Ukujonga kwelinye iimbaleki ezimangalisayo kwaye wayeyazi into awayefuna ukuyenza: ukubaleka umgama omde.

"Andizange ndibaleke xa ndinemilenze, kwaye ngoku kufuneka ndifunde ukubaleka kwimilenze yeerobhothi?" uyahleka. Kodwa uthi wawuva umoya katamkhulu wakhe umkhuthaza ngoko wayezimisele ukufumana indlela. I-Marseilles idityaniswe ne-Össur Prosthetics, eyamdibanisa neenyawo zabo zeFlex-Run.

Ngombulelo kubuchwephesha obuphezulu, uthathe ithuba lokubaleka ngokukhawuleza-kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba khange kube nzima. Eyona nto inzima endijongene nayo kukusebenza ngamalungu am ashiyekileyo, utshilo. "Ngamanye amaxesha ndifumana i-skin rashes kunye ne-abrasions ngoko kufuneka ndiphulaphule umzimba wam kwaye ndihlale ndilungile ngelixa ndiphuma."

Lonke olo qeqesho, ulungiselelo, kunye nentlungu ihlawulile-ayisiyiyo iMarseille imbaleki kuphela, ibambe irekhodi lehlabathi njengowokuqala kwaye kuphela komva wesibini ongaphantsi kwedolo ophumeleleyo ukubaleka umdyarho wesiqingatha. Phakathi koqeqesho lokubaleka, ufumene ixesha lokuvela kwintengiso yeAdidas neMazda nakwiifilimu I-A.I. kwaye Ingxelo yabaNcinci, waze wabhala incwadi ngamava akhe, Phezulu kunye nokuBaleka: Ibali likaJami Goldman.

Kule mpelaveki, nangona kunjalo, uzakuthatha olona mceli mngeni wakhe mkhulu: Ubaleka umdyarho opheleleyo waseChicago ngo-Okthobha 11. Akathandabuzi ukuba uya kulima ngeemayile ezingama-26.2 kwaye abe ngowesibini umntu oyinkazana owenza oko. Isitshixo, utshilo, liqela elikhulu lokubaleka, kunye nosapho kunye nabahlobo bokumxhasa kwindlela. Kodwa xa izinto ziba nzima ngokwenene, unesixhobo esifihlakeleyo.

"Ndihlala ndizikhumbuza ukuba sele ndifikile phi, kwaye ukuba ndingasinda kwiintsuku ezili-11 ndindishiyeke kwikhephu, ndingadlula kuyo nantoni na," utshilo, esithi, "Ndifundile ukuba iintlungu zezokwexeshana kodwa ukuyeka kungunaphakade. " Kwaye unomyalezo kuthi sonke esisokolayo ukuhlangabezana neenjongo zethu zokomelela, nokuba yeyiphi imiceli mngeni esijongene nayo: Ungaze, ungaze unikezele.

Asiyi—kwaye siya kuba ngomnye wabaninzi abamvuyisayo njengoko ewela umgca wokugqibela kule mpelaveki!
