Richard Nasser ran a 2:58:16 marathon at 204 pounds to qualify for the 2015 Boston Marathon. One problem. On April 15^th of 2014 he was hit by a car while on his bike and suffered two brain injuries, a stroke, three broken vertebrae in his neck, seven broken ribs, a broken arm, a collapsed lung, a lacerated kidney, his spleen had to be removed and his face had to be totally rebuilt after his jaw was broken in four places and an eye socket was destroyed. The fact that he is even alive is a miracle. But he is more than alive and his plan on April 20^th is to not only complete the Boston Marathon, but to beat his best buddy’s time of 2:56:44.
