Landing on her head, she suffered a traumatic brain injury resulting in partial paralysis on the left side of her body and a three-week coma. She struggled, unsuccessfully, to reenter the social life of a ten-year-old.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStill in social isolation many years down the road, she rehabilitated the best she could on her own. One of her efforts to continue her lifelong road of rehab, and due to the fitness craze in 1982, she found herself in the presence of a nearby gym. As Sally limped into the gym, the manager offered her entry blank for the Phoenix 10K Race being held the very next day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSally took the entry blank as a courtesy. The pamphlet's heading caught her attention, thus presenting her with another challenge. It read, \"run, jog, walk, or crawl: the phoenix 10k.\" She thought, \u003cem\u003eWhat the heck, I can crawl\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoors she opened before this conquest--getting a job, for instance--and other triumphs taken for granted by many became huge barriers for the brain-injured. Sally, though, couldn't or wouldn't back down from life's challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBesides being a thriving member of her Senior Citizen Independent Living Apartment Complex, she continues after thirty-six years to actively participate in 5K walks to the cheers of many in the Phoenix area. In 2013, she was admitted to the Arizona Runners Hall of Fame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSally has written a book explaining how she used her courage to enter adulthood. It is also her desire to give if only a glimmer of hope to those who need to hear that when the going got tough, the tough got tougher and took life one small stride at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 23, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52454967673139,"sku":"9781098015398","price":46.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/cHIvK0hMSmNmSFR2ZnZqSXRYZFdsdz09.webp?v=1759139876","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/i-will-finish-and-i-wont-be-last-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
