The story : In December 2009 , 22-year-old professional snowboarder Kevin Pearce was riding high with a super positive vibe , training hard and looking forward to the upcoming Olympics.
When he took to the half pipe in Park City, Utah for a practice run on New Years Day , he experienced a horrible accident.
Kevin hit his head pretty severely on his way down from his attempt of a cab double cork.
In that very instant , Kevin was knocked unconscious and flown into the University of Utah Medical Center in Salt Lake City , where he was treated. In February , he was sent on to Craig Hospital in Denver, Colorado where he spent the next year of his young life being rehabilitated for his injuries.
The direct result of Kevins' accident has scarred his brain for the rest of his life , making it nearly impossible to continue living out his dream as a successful snowboarder.
This is his inspirational story.
