Never being expected to wake up from his coma, let alone walk or talk again. David decided to run instead. Surviving a traumatic brain injury in 2005 and living with brain damage, David has just come back from his 8 1/2 month journey of running across Canada. Previous to his cross Canada run he ran the Chicago Marathon in 2006, the Vancouver Triathlon in 2007, Penticton Ironman in 2009 and the Goofy Challenge in Disney World in 2010 to name a few. When asked "how do you run a marathon a day" he often replies "easy, I just forgot I ran the day before". You can see David's full story here www.runtoremember.com
