August 4, 2013 -- A group of runners shows that losing a limb doesn't have to slow you down.
The Blade Runners are the chosen charity to benefit from the Terrapin 5K and Music Festival taking place August 8.
Blade Runners was formed to help amputees get back into running. Blade Runners founder David Rotter and Hailey Danisweciz, an above-the-knee amputee, joined us in the studio to tell us more.
