You’ll be amazed by Scott’s courage, determination, and faith. Maybe you’ll even be inspired to do the unthinkable in your own life.
Friday, March 12, 2010: 7:00 pm – Keynote Address, Reception and Book Signing
On October 13, 2007, Scott became the first double-leg amputee ever to cross the finish line using prosthetics in the sporting world’s most grueling and prestigious event, The Ford Ironman Triathlon World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.
Unthinkable is the story of Scott’s remarkable journey. After the devastating crash that claimed both of his legs, he battled depression, alcohol, and prescription medications. But his dawning realization that God had a greater plan for his life led him to get himself together and train for the Ironman: a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, and 26.2-mile marathon that must be completed in 17 hours.
