At a young age, Patti Wilson was told by her doctor she was an epileptic.Her father is a morning jogger.One day she said to her father, 'Daddy, what I' d really love to do is run with you every day, but I'm afraid I'll have a seizure.' Her father told her, 'Ifyou do, I know how to handle it, so let' s start running! '
That was a wonderful experience for them to share and there were no seizures at all while she was running.After a few weeks, she told her father, 'Daddy, what I'd really love to is break the world's long-distance running record for women.'
Her father checked the Guinness Book of World Records and found that the farthest any woman had run was 80 miles.As a freshman in high school, Patti announced, 'I'm going to run from Orange County up to San Francisco.' (A distance of 400 miles.) 'As a sophomore,' she went on, 'I'm going to run to Portland, Oregon.'(Over 1,500 miles.) 'As a junior I'Il run to St.Louis.' (About 2,000 miles.) 'As a senior I'Il run to the White House.'(Over 3,000 miles.)
In view of her handicap, Patti was as ambitious as she was enthusiastic, but she said she looked at the handicap of being an epileptic as simply 'an inconvenience'.She focused not on what she had lost, but on what she had been left.
That year she pleted her run to San Francisco wearing a T-shirt that read, 'I love Epi-leptics.' In her sophomore year Patti' s classmates got behind her.They built a giant poster that read, 'Run, Patti, Run! ' (This has since bee her motto.)
On her second marathon, en route to Portland, she fractured a bone in her foot.A doctor told her she had to stop her run.
