matthew fast
matthew learned to walk again.
Matthew Fast was in the kind of car accident most people don’t survive. He says, “I shattered my arm, broke my femur, broke all of my ribs on my right side, collapsed my lung, and suffered two traumatic brain injuries.” ten months later he was very weak and in a wheelchair, but determined to recover fully. He landed a job at 24 Hour Fitness, where he was befriended by one of the trainers. In his own words, “One of the trainers, Tuelo, had heard what happened and so she took my under her wing. I went from a wheelchair, to a walker, to a cane, to a very weak walk. She not only made me physically stronger but made me mentally stronger by helping me understand that things take time..Because of Tuelo, I am a better and stronger person.” Asked what he would say to others after his experience, “Believe in yourself, and others will see it.”
