Marc Esposito’s vehicle was hit by an IED when he was deployed to Afghanistan in 2009. After being in a wheelchair for almost five months, he was finally able to stand.
By 2011, he competed in the Warrior Games and won Gold in pistol shooting. Shortly thereafter, rode his bike across the country, from the pacific in San Francisco to the Atlantic in Virginia Beach.
Marc said cycling changed his life, even though he was hit by a car along the route. He made an early decision to not let his injuries ever haunt him.
You’ll enjoy hearing Marc tell about his life since his injury on the battlefield.
