"Triple amputee veteran completes grueling 10.5 mile endurance race called The Beast over five-hours to honor fallen U.S. soldiers"

Slightly old news, but I saw the photo in question and looked it up to see what it was from.

It turns out, the man in the photo is a triple amputee veteran, but that doesn't slow him down. He completed a 10.5 mile endurance run called "The Beast", while wearing a mask and visor to restrict his breathing and... make it more challenging.

Have you ever seen the youtube video of a man who was crippled by an IED (I believe) and told he would never walk on his own again? He learned yoga using his assitance devices, lost so much weight and is now running on his own.

I cried so hard watching that. I need to do a little digging and see if I can find that video again.

ETA: My google fu is strong.
