In 2002, Steve Judge nearly died in a serious road accident. His legs were crushed. Doctors told him there was a good chance he'd never walk again, or at the very least, he'd live the rest of his life with limited leg movement below the knee.
But Steve is not the type of person to take no for an answer. He began to set hard goals for himself: to be able to stand three months after the accident so that he could stand at the altar on his wedding day; to stay fit, despite restrictions; and to walk on crutches. At the 1:30 mark, it's incredible to watch Steve fall on his crutches and reveal a moment of weakness — but just when you think he's defeated, he picks himself up and keeps trying.
The video below chronicles Steve's 10-year journey, turning his near-fatal accident into a lifetime of stunning achievements. Wait until you see his transformation!
Today: He bikes. He runs. He is a member of Sheffield Triathlon Club and Killamarsh Kestrels, a local running club with a range of runners at different levels. He is a member of the 2012 British Triathlon Paratriathlon Performance Programme. He went on to complete a paratriathlon using his personal motto: "You have a dream; that is your goal; Work towards your goal." Steve also speaks at schools and has become a role model for children everywhere.
