Just one year ago, Laura Patterson survived a stroke – and this weekend she completed the Disneyland Half Marathon! After learning to walk again, Laura went on to running and hasn’t stopped – all the way through the finish line this past Sunday. Watch her triumphant finish alongside her coach and friends.

You go girl!!! You are an inspiration to all of us.

Congratulations! I’m so happy for you.
This is truly inspirational! Makes me even more excited that I am doing the Princess Half Marathon next year and definitely gonna do next year’s Disneyland Half marathon so I could complete the coast-to-coast challenge!
How inspirational!! Despite being in a Crohn’s Disease flare for the past 9 months I not only ran the Disneyland Half Marathon this past weekend, but I completed my challenge of running 13 half marathons in 13 months!! 13 Going on Crazy as I like to call it!
congrats to laura!!
about two years ago, I decided to quit smoking (of 8 years) and my goal was to run the half marathon. needless to say, when i crossed the finish line, it was the best feeling in the world. hopefully 2014, im ready to tackle on the full marathon at disneyworld!
Congrats my friend! Lolo, we are so very proud of you. Love ya!
WoW! What a great story! I’m training for WDW Princess Half marathon in 2014 and stories like this keep me going whenever I feel discouraged! Great Job Laura!!
