A man who was paralyzed on three separate occasions will attempt to walk the Boston Marathon next month, WBZ-TV reports.

What’s the story?

Thomas Smith was a former hockey player who was left paralyzed after a brutal collision on the ice in 2008 caused him severe neck and brain injuries.

Despite being told by doctors that he may be relegated to life in a wheelchair, Smith went through grueling rehab for nine months, recovering to the point of being able to play hockey again.
