Episode 5
On this episode of The First, I sat down with Roderick Sewell Jackson, the first bilateral above-knee blade runner to complete the Ironman World Championship. We discussed his mother's decision to amputate his legs at 18 months old, homelessness, his introduction to the Challenged Athletes Foundation, conquering Kona, and his mission to be a dual-sport athlete at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
