In September 2011, Turia Pitt, a beautiful 25-year-old mining engineer working her dream job in the far north of Western Australia, entered an ultra-marathon race that would change her life forever. Trapped by a fire in a gorge in the remote Kimberly region, Turia and five other competitors had nowhere to run. Turia escaped with catastrophic burns to 65 per cent of her body. 

With too little unburned skin left for skin grafts, Turia was put in an induced coma in the Burns Unit at Sydney's Concord Hospital while her body fought life-threatening infections and her surgeons imported skin from California. She lost the fingers on her right hand and her fingers on her left are partially fused together. She needed a new nose. There have been numerous operation, yet there are many more to come.

Her boyfriend decided to quit his job to care for her recovery. Days ago in an interview with CNN they asked him: Did you at any moment think about leaving her and hiring someone to take care of her and moving on with your life?

His reply touched the world:  " I married her soul, her character, and she is the only woman that will continue to fulfill my dreams"[size=8pt][/size]
