A great read

Fantastic story. Very easy to read, did not want to put it down, and so inspiring all at once. Thanks for writing it and sharing it and doing what you do.

So Inspirational

What a great story. So open and honest. To read about the difficulty that Scott went through, and how he struggled just to find a purpose in his life....and then set out to begin fulfilling that purpose....what motivation for ANYONE, not just someone with physical challenges!! Scott's story will be such an inspiration to so many, and will literally change people's lives. I am in awe of what he went through, how far he's come, and all that he has done.

Remarkable Story, Remarkable Man!!!

Wow! What a refreshing change from the daily depressing news cycle to read this story of courage, inspiration, perseverance, and tenacity. Scott Rigsby is as funny as he is candid as he details the unimaginable highs and devastating lows on his journey to becoming an Ironman. Through it all you'll be challenged and inspired to achieve the Unthinkable in your own life. Well done, Scott!!

Amazing - A Must Read

Scott's story of courage, faith and daring to do the Unthinkable is amazing. I read it in a single day and have bought copies for friends and family. His story will resonate with every small town American, college kid, working adult, recovering addict, athlete, patient and friend. While I may never face the physical challenges that Scott has, his book has inspired me to have the courage and faith to do the "Unthinkable" things that God has set out for me to do. Scott's story will make you laugh, cry, cheer, pray and dare to dream big. Terri
