(3) If you don’t know who Kirstie Ennis is, crawl out from under that rock. Kirstie is a hurricane. A one-legged hurricane. If you saw the Superbowl this year, she is the blonde bombshell who made you fall in love with America all over again while Johnny Cash talked about the flag. We met doing the “knife hand” video and continued that friendship through an epic three-day spontaneous Fear and Loathing road trip. If either of us can be pinned down for longer than a couple weeks at a time, we’ll continue that adventure across country for your viewing and reading pleasure. Kirstie has had a year. It seems that just as she adapts to the cards she’s been dealt, the dealer changes the deck. She had another revision on her leg recently. In true Kirstie fashion, she changed some of her plans, but didn’t allow it to change her. She exceeds anyone’s expectations, lives life on her terms, and brings along others for the ride…if they can keep up. She is currently in Tanzania working on a clean water project. If I know Kirstie, I have no doubt that she will take a casual stroll up Kilimanjaro while she is there, just to test out her new leg. In a time of derision and political strife over gender, these women are shining examples of what we all should strive to be, men, women, and other alike. Ladies, cheers. Happy International Women’s Day. #leftlegless #waterboys #kilimanjaro #oneleggedhurricane #kirstieennis #theveteransproject #womensday
