Description

Matt Long's memoir recounts his remarkable journey from near-fatal accident to elite athlete. On December 22, 2005, Matt was struck by a bus while cycling to work, leaving him with severe injuries that pushed him within inches of life. After over 40 operations and months of recovery, he began the long process of healing. The road to recovery was marked by intense physical and psychological pain, as well as feelings of despair and loneliness. Yet, Matt's determination to regain his life drove him to teach himself how to walk again, and eventually, to run. His triumphant comeback, including a finish in the 2008 New York City Marathon, is a testament to his perseverance. Through his story, Matt shares his emotional and honest account of learning to cope with fear, pain, and loss, ultimately finding solace in running.
