There are many people that have inspired me over the last few years, mainly due to their courage or achievements.
As I approach my next major life challenge, many of these figures will be at the front of my mind as I push for that every ounce of motivation to succeed.
For those that are unaware or have not come across some of these people, or who seek some inspiration take a look at the following people and prepare to be amazed.
Marshall Ulrich - After losing his wife to cancer at a young age, Marshall took to running. Completed the transcontinental run of more than 3000 miles by running just short of 60 miles every day for 52 days!!
Team Hoyt - Team Hoyt is an inspirational story of a father, Dick Hoyt, and his son, Rick, who compete together in marathons and triathlons across the country.
Nick Vujicic - Words cannot describe my utmost respect for Nick, listen to him speak and I challenge you not to be inspired!
Aron Ralston - Well known story now after film of his situation, 127 hours, was produced.
These are just a few, but ones that have overcome amazing personal courage, hardship and tragedy.
