Scott Rigsby is doing the unthinkable!

April 13, 2010 in Other Stuff with 3 Comments

Scott Rigsby turned his life around from over a decade of countless doctor visits and hospitals, 26 surgeries, amputations, depression, fear, and uncertainty. He has reached unprecedented heights as a world-class athlete.

For those of you unfamiliar with his story, Scott has completed 13 triathlons and five road races on his way to setting world records for a double below-the-knee amputee in the full marathon, half ironman, and international distance triathlon, earning him a spot on the 2006 USA Triathlon Team. On October 13, 2007, Scott Rigsby became the first double amputee in the world to have completed the grueling Hawaiian Ironman triathlon using prosthetics at the Ford Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

Check out this brief video highlighting Scott’s story:

    A great story and a great guy. I first met Scott when he was my daughters small goup leader and I had the chance to volunteer next to him for a few years in childrens ministry. So happy that he is getting a chance to tell so many his story

    Scott amazes me- his story is beyond inspirational… and just what I needed to think beyond obstacles and keep going through open doors!
