When I got to know Nordic Walking, I liked it a lot. And I chose it as my sport. Back in 2005, I started to "run" with other leg amputees. We had a Nordic walking instructor for leg amputees. He motivated and trained us. I developed further.

My first run was in 2005 in Kornbach / Gefrees 6 km, then followed in 2006 14 km, then in 2007 21 km.

In 2008, I felt ready for my first 42 km marathon. And then my 2nd Marathon 2010. And every time I connect the marathons with a fundraising campaign for the Sternstunden e. V. in Munich. At my second marathon I was accompanied by a ZDF-team "full pot" and "people - the magazine".
