Scott wasn’t supposed to walk.

Now he’s chasing 100 miles.

This isn’t a clean, polished story. It’s what it actually looked like growing up being told what he couldn’t do, dealing with how people saw him, and figuring it out the hard way.

At one point he stopped going outside. Didn’t want to be seen. Didn’t like what he saw in the mirror.

Now he’s training for distances most people won’t even attempt.

We talk about the part people don’t see the pain, the judgment, the self doubt and the decision to keep moving anyway.

“No one’s better than you. You just have to go again.”
