In 2013, I was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive Childhood Bone Cancer.

I lost my leg to this disease and endured months of intensive chemotherapy.  Throughout this journey, even though there was great hardship, I was blessed to witness some of the very best of humanity as a community came together to help me battle this disease.

And by the end of that year, I was Cancer-Free.

The battle did not end there, however.  When you battle through something so damaging, so intense, it can leave you feeling broken and beaten, no matter how many smiles you wear every day in spite of it.

I was left feeling defeated, without value or purpose for my life.

It was a long road forward, but I was eventually able to establish purpose in my life again through the "Be Impossible" mindset, becoming an athlete, a speaker, and an entrepreneur.

In 2023, Team Impossible formed to raise funds, advocacy, and awareness for kids battling cancer today as a Children's Champion. What I experienced was beyond anything I could have imagined.

Once again, I witnessed the very best of humanity as we raised over $32,000 for Childhood Cancer Research, and gave Hope to so many kids battling today.

This year, Team Impossible is returning with 37 athletes, and our Mission is to help spread the message of Children's Champions to show you how you can give these same Kids Hope.

It is our mission to show Kids battling Cancer the immense strength they've built, and they can use that Strength to chase any dream they have for life.

Check out this episode to learn how you can become a Children's Champion for the Columbus Marathon and give Hope to those who need it most.

Thank you for listening, and as always...Be Impossible!

When he was 18 years old, Matt was diagnosed with a rare pediatric bone cancer.

He endured 9 months of brutal chemotherapy, had his right leg amputated, and nearly lost his life to multi system organ failure.

But what you haven’t heard is how this journey broke him.

And not in the way you might expect.

In this episode of The Impossible, Matt gives his story in a more vulnerable, real frame than he ever has before. We’ve shared this story before, but never through this lens, the perspective of a scared, broken 18 year old kid.

In this episode, you will learn why Matt and Austin fight for everything they do with such Passion and Purpose; why they train and compete while constantly battling life threatening disease; and why they will never stop.

If you find insight or inspiration from this episode, all we ever ask is that you share it with someone whom it may help…at the end of the day, that is our Mission and our Vision.

“I do not fear Death, I’ve already done that…what I fear is to never truly Live.” - Matthew Hill

Micalyn Harris was 25 when she was diagnosed with B-Cell Lymphoma. 

Suddenly, her perfectly normal life she had built shattered, and she did everything she could to cling to its remains. 

After surviving a year of intensive chemotherapy, she was pronounced “Cancer Free,” and she hoped to put everything behind her, returning to normal life… 

But Life had other plans. 

In March 2020, she once again heard the words we all dread to hear, “You Have Cancer,” and the prognosis was very poor. 

This is when Micalyn took on the responsibility of her Health, and decided she was not finished with life. 

From having her tongue removed and rebuilt with her arm, to losing her job, and facing divorce, Micalyn has faced some of Life’s most tragic battles. 

Yet, in the midst of everything, she found Healing, and is now 100% Cancer Free, despite all odds. 

Check out this episode to learn how Micalyn did the Impossible, beating every Limitation placed on her, and how you can use these same lessons in your own life.
