Running Across America with Nels Matson
December 16, 2024
Endurance athlete runs for those who run toward danger
March 13, 2025Nels Matson was born with a heart defect basically starving one side for oxygen. So basically, his first few years were like training at altitude. His own Leadville childhood. At the age of 3 he had open heart surgery and at 5 was released to play sports. He has never looked back, and most certainly has not taken his gifts for granted. He has used his gift of stamina to make a difference in the world and has done so with several causes. His most recent was a Transcon from San Francisco to New York City to raise funds and awareness for The Wounded Warrior Foundation as a part of Project Campbell’s Call. I’ll let him tell you the rest.
