Giving people with disabilities the opportunity to run wild

Just over ten years ago Matthew Byrson's life changed in an instant when he was pulled into a piece of machinery on his family's farm. Matthew lost his leg that day and has learnt to live life with a prosthetic but it hasn't stopped him from pushing himself physically on the running trails. As well as working for Peke Waihanga Artificial Limb Service, Matthew is the organiser of an adaptive trail running event being held in Rotorua this weekend. He speaks to Mark Leishman about his motivation to get the event up and running.
