Trent was alone in the dark waters of Narragansett Bay touching what he thinks is an exposed rib. Seconds earlier a motorboat ran him over, severing all the major muscles on the left side of his back and carved out five pieces of his spine, leaving him paralyzed. Lying in a hospital bed unable to feel his legs, Trent creates a list of ten things he pledges to accomplish in his life. The first: walk again.

The List, as Trent comes to call it, ranges from physical to emotional challenges and includes completing an Ironman. Learn about Trent’s inspiring, humorous and touching journey from dark waters to the doorsteps of the Ironman.
