Woman with muscular dystrophy completes 12 marathons in wheelchair for charity: ‘Won’t let it define me’
Born with a rare form of muscular dystrophy, Peri Finkelstein has never let her disorder define her. Instead, the 24-year-old New Yorker has used her challenges as a springboard to make the world a better place, completing 12 marathons to raise funds for charity. Despite her physical limitations, she was inspired to start doing marathons in 2010 when her mother and brother began running them for charity. After several years of pushing that “extra mile,” Finkelstein experienced medical challenges in 2022 that made her unable to compete. “While I used to be an athlete, I am still just as competitive and am somewhat of an overachiever in the real world,” Finkelstein said.

I Just Learned What Time They Actually Start Drinking On Saturday Kitchen, And Wow
But if we want to talk about boozy food shows, surely Saturday Kitchen should come to our mind first. But a listener to behind-the-scenes showbiz podcast The Rest Is Entertainment wanted to ask co-host Richard Osman, who’d appeared on the BBC show, when the drinking really kicks off. Even though the drinking starts early, Richard stressed that “the truth is you don’t drink an awful lot of it.”“You don’t eat a lot of the food either,” he added. “You only have a little sip,” he said, explaining that his wine glass was taken away from him after a certain point.

Biden sets a 10-year deadline for US cities to replace lead pipes and make drinking water safer
The announcement highlights an issue — safe drinking water — that Kamala Harris has prioritized as vice president and during her presidential campaign. Biden and Harris believe it’s “a moral imperative” to ensure that everyone has access to clean drinking water, EPA Administrator Michael Regan told reporters Monday. But the science has been clear for decades: There is no safe level of lead in our drinking water.'' Lead pipes can corrode and contaminate drinking water; removing them sharply reduces the chance of a crisis. The infrastructure law approved in 2021 provided $15 billion to help cities replace their lead pipes, but the total cost will be several times higher.

Trump's already harsh rhetoric on migrants is turning darker as Election Day nears
By James OliphantFILE PHOTO: Republican presidential nominee and former U.S. President Donald Trump holds a rally in Saginaw, Michigan, U.S., October 3, 2024. Migrants who had come across the U.S. border were slaughtering people across the country, he falsely claimed. “It is painting a whole population as subhuman.”In doing so, Trump also has blurred the distinction between legal and illegal immigration. A hallmark of Trump's turn toward darker language is the more graphic description of violence allegedly meted out by migrants. Treisman said Trump’s speech in Erie was among the harshest that he has tracked.
