Jami Goldman Marseilles

The Ten Day Triumph
In December 1987, a 19-year-old Jami and a friend found themselves stranded on a snow-covered logging road in Arizona. For ten days, they endured subzero temperatures with nothing but a cinnamon roll and frozen soda for sustenance. While Jami narrowly survived, the ordeal cost her both legs below the knee.
Relearning to walk was only the starting line. Jami rebuilt her health through characteristic determination, eventually earning multiple gold medals and world records. This unstoppable drive to overcome the "unthinkable" is exactly why Jami became a cherished member of the Lifted Trucks Family. Her story serves as a constant reminder that tragedy can be transformed into a powerful legacy of change.
The 26.2 Mile Record
In 2015, Jami made history as the first female double amputee to finish a full marathon at the Chicago Marathon. A year later, she shattered another barrier as the first woman with bilateral amputations to complete the historic Boston Marathon.
Equipped with her "Cheetah" running prosthetics, Jami didn't just run for herself—she mentored fellow athletes, including Boston Marathon bombing survivors. She proved that determine, community, and support can take you further than you ever imagined. At Lifted Trucks, we share that same passion for elite performance and pushing the boundaries of what is possible on any road.
Jami's story is one of unmatched perseverance, strength, and triumph.
Built for the Mission
As an ambassador for the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) and founder of Warriors With Hope, Jami dedicated her life to empowering others facing life-altering injuries and cancer. She needed a rig that matched her bold spirit and her desire for badass freedom.
Lifted Trucks was proud to build Jami a custom Jeep Wrangler in Phoenix—a vehicle designed to handle the Arizona terrain she loved. Whether she was heading to a motivational speaking engagement or spending time with her family at the beach, her custom build was a symbol of her resilience. Her legacy continues through the Mobi-Mats at Huntington Beach and the countless lives she touched with her message: be not afraid of going slowly, be afraid only of standing still.
