This short film shares the story of Nick Geddes, a mountain biker who didn’t feel well prior to a competitions a few years back. While riding the course, he ended up crashing, and the next thing he knew he was being rushed to the hospital, where it was discovered that he had Leukemia, which is cancer in the blood cells. For a time, it looked like his life would be over, literally and figuratively. But Nick survived chemo therapy, and got back on his bike, and started to ride again. His story is an inspiring one, beautifully told by filmmaker Leo Zuckerman. It is definitely worth the seven-minutes it’ll take you to watch.
