SCOTT RIGSBY

Scott Rigsby was 18 years old and looking forward to his first semester at college. He was riding in the back of a pickup truck in rural Georgia with his friends after a hard day of landscaping work. He was talking about sports and his plans for the weekend when suddenly, the truck was hit by a passing 18-wheeler. The force threw him underneath a 3-ton attached trailer while the vehicle dragged him over 320 feet. His back suffered third-degree burns, his right leg was severed, and his left leg hung barely intact. Rigsby endured countless doctor and hospital visits, 26 surgeries, and additional amputation. 

After almost 20 years of depression, fear, and uncertainty, he decided to change his life and seek his purpose for living, fueled by a prayer that if God opened a door for him, he would go through it.  That door opened, and a relentlessly determined Rigsby arose and never looked back. On October 13, 2007, after enduring the elements for 16 hours and 43 minutes, Scott Rigsby became the first double amputee to finish the Hawaiian Ironman triathlon with prosthetics at the 140.6-mile World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.
