Everyday stories about extraordinary courage. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt

A few months ago, he heard about a challenge that had been set by Commando Temple Gym owner Rob, to walk to Brighton and back in 48 hours. No checkpoints, no medical support, completely self-supported. Without a second thought Jesse dived into the challenge head first, beginning with two friends and ending in in a delirious solo stumble of glory.
