Matt was injured while riding motocross with his daughters on a February day, a routine activity they enjoyed together. During a crash over a triple jump, he lost control of his bike and immediately realized something was wrong. The accident caused a burst fracture to his T6, a fracture to his T5, and spinal cord compression, leaving him paralyzed from below his chest.

“Until you're broke, you don't know what you're made of. It gives you the ability to build yourself all over again, but stronger than ever. Always remember TOUGH times don't last, but TOUGH people do!”
