Inspiration From Matt Long

Five years ago Matt Long was struck, and consequently run over, by a bus in New York City. The accident was so severe that doctors gave him less than a 5 percent chance to survive.

Fortunately, Matt Long beat the odds, and then some. In July 2009, he finished the Ford Ironman in Lake Placid.

I highly recommend taking the time to watch the two videos below. Matt Long’s story is as inspiring as any.
