Scout Bassett - Challenged Athlete Video

At an early age, Scout lost her right leg due to severe burns. Later she was abandoned at a Chinese orphanage to endure hardship, abuse and child labor. With help from CAF, her parents and prosthetist, Scout actively competes in tennis, golf, marathons and triathlons. Her relationship with Sarah Reinertsen over the years has also helped her overcome many challenges.

I ran in the Copenhagen Marathon and saw her on the course the other day! What an inspiring story!

Scout, thank you for sharing what you do. It is an inspiration. Good luck in your next season of racing, and in all of life.

Like, this video is hosed because it's riddled with audio dropouts. Despite the video itself being hosed, it very well depicts that even though your right leg is hosed, you're absolutely gorgeous. You go, girl!
