DETROIT, Mich. – A Michigan veteran is making the impossible, possible through as inspiring story.
Corporal Rob Jones is a double amputee athlete who plans to run 31 marathons in 31 days.
His purpose is to remind other veterans that just because you come back wounded, doesn’t mean you’re broken.
Jones has already completed many marathons.
His next move is riding a bike in the dead winter for more than 5,000 miles to raise money for veterans.
He is hoping to make $1 million by the end of his runs.
Visit his website to sign up to run with him, donate to charities, or buy a t-shirt that help spread the word of his mission.
