On the way to class this morning, I happened to come across an interview with Scott Rigsby on a radio station. Scott Rigsby lost both legs in a terrible accident when he was 18. Living without two legs and with millions of dollars in debt from medical bills, Scott found a new a life when he started training for triathlon.

Scott raced in several sprint distance (swim: 500 meters, bike: 13 miles, run: 3 miles) triathlons before moving onto one of the Ironman series races - Kona Ironman. His incredible finish at Kona has made him an icon in physically challenged athletes community. He is currently touring around the country, giving speech, and inspiring many others who have gone through traumatic life experiences like he had.

His courage made me wept.
