That’s Why I Run

In 1993, Argentina Senda was struck down by a mysterious, life-threatening illness; her doctors recommended that she have her right leg amputated. A year later—and without having gone through with the amputation surgery—a cured Senda completed her first long-distance road race. This autobiography follows one woman's journey from the brink of despair to the height of achievement. Detailing how the discipline of running has had a positive impact on Senda’s life, this is a story of faith and also a means of giving thanks to God for her miraculous recovery.
