Episode description

Sidney Smith was born with Charcot-Marie-Tooth, a disease which causes structural foot damage and muscle wasting through the leg. Sid made the tough choice to have both his legs amputated rather than spend the rest of his life in a wheel chair. While in the hospital he decided if he ever got out of there, he was going to compete in an Ironman Triathlon. We talk about how it felt when he woke up and both his legs were gone. How life has changed since then and how he is giving back to help someone else receive a new prosthetic leg.
