Well, once you read the article you see that he is "only" going 5km....but still!!

Imagine going to bed with flu-like symptoms and waking up three weeks later with no legs and only one arm.

Bryan Cuerrier doesn't have to imagine. He lived it.

In May 2010, the 54-year-old was found half-conscious in his home by his girlfriend. According to Marijo Cuerrier (now his wife), his hands had turned blue and he could barely speak.
