-----------------------
On teams up with Emmy®-award-winning director Andrew Hinton to bring you The Man with the Halo. This inspirational short documentary tells the unfathomable comeback story of Tim Don, the fastest Ironman triathlete of all time, after breaking his neck in a cycling crash.
Coming just days before the Ironman World Championships, where Tim was a favorite to top the podium, the crash looked to have ended not only Tim's hopes of becoming World Champion, but potentially his career.
Despite the long road to recovery ahead, Tim's resolve to fight for his dream was clear. Walk the comeback trail with Tim on a journey filled with bravery in the face of adversity, determination and, above all, inspiration.

And dare I say that behind every successful athlete is an amazing husband or wife who gives just as much in order for them to succeed.

After 5 min watching .... got crocodile tears already ..... what a man ..... such powerful message.... NEVER GIVE UP!!!

What a great and inspirational story. I am recovering from a C-1 fracture. I'm out of the halo now and I'm in the process of weaning myself off a hard cervical collar. I had been training for my first marathon when I broke my neck. I've set my sights on finishing my first marathon next year. I've been riding the Peloton and doing PT on my lower legs. The doctor says running is still a few months away, but I'll get there. Seeing Tim's grit and determination to bring himself back from his traumatic injury was an emotional and motivating experience for me. Thank you Tim for sharing this window into your journey back to Kona.

'Inspirational' is an understatement but don't know what other word to use

@migueldejesus971 6 лет назад

I was counting down the days to see this. I suffered a lower back injury 9 days before Ironman Puerto Rico in March and I couldnt race. Tims story has been near my heart since his accident. His story is so inspiring, it was worth waiting for this. What an amazing human being, so humble and positive. Tim is definitely one of my all time favorite triathletes. Amazing documentary. Thank you Tim, for inspiring people all around the world and for reminding everybody that no matter what you go through in life, a positive attitude and hard work will give you wings to overcome ANY obstacle life throws your way. God bless you always and crush Kona!!!

I mean how you dare to leave a dislike to such an athlete such a person such a fighter. No words Tim only can do what you've done.

@advex4428 5 лет назад

By disliking Lance Armstrong either. (I didn't dislike it though, cause the story from accident to being back into top-athletic Performance IS impressive. No question about it.)

Dear Big Island, Please be kind to this beautiful soul next October.

@s.jatighetchi9021 6 лет назад

Hi Tim: Following your story and watching this documentary, I feel like I’m you. You see I also broke my C2 vertebrae in a cycling race last August. I was also 39 years old at the time. Unlike you however I opted to have 40mm screw put into my neck. I would love to come to Boulder to meet you. I will send you a message via Facebook. Thank you for sharing your story. Good luck in the training and I’ll be cheering for you at Kona 2018 👍😀

@TheNinoherr 5 лет назад

Hey Tim, I was in a motorbike accident and to say it was a close shave is an understatement! Broke T12 and whilst I wasn't in a Halo I was in a brace for 5 months (24/7). After the healing process I completed my first 70.3 Ironman. By God's grace... So I have an in cling of what you've gone through! Keep it up!

@cgharris22 6 лет назад

Thanks so much for sharing. Was a Tim Don fan before his injury and I am even more of one now. When I started my Ironman journey 5 years ago I watched his videos on RU-vid and loved his laid back approach and champion mindset. Thanks for the continued motivation and inspiration Tim. This will help and inspire everyone who watches it, whether they are a triathlete or not. Fuel for the world.

I just recovered from my C6 and C7 fracture after snowboarding in this winter 2018. Had HALO for 2 weeks, didn't work, had to do surgery. Even Halo for two weeks was nightmare and hell, especially trying to sleep. Good job man, I feel your pain, proud of you! Never give up, and never surrender!

@jann-pauljakisch610 5 лет назад

The most inspirational story the sporting world has witnessed so far :o overwhelmingly impressed by this man... Hats off!! There's no other athlete to whom I would grant the world champion title in Kona as much as Tim Don. Be safe out there, champ!!

@rileytaylor7927 5 лет назад

hey tim truly inspirational story i'm currently going through a simaler thing i'm 15 and broke c1 and c2 of my spine and fractured c3,4,5 and t1 in a mountain bike crash and got the halo off three weeks ago just hoping i can return to doing the things i love like you did

@rorybaker6586 4 года назад

Riley Taylor hey man I’m 17 I’ve just broken my c2 on a trampoline and had my halo on for 6 weeks, two left. How’s your recovery?

@peterluftensteiner4376 4 года назад

rory baker hey mate, broke my c7 vertebrae and had to wear a stiff neck 3 months until now. would love to share some thoughts with someone who had a similar accident. greetings

@rorybaker6586 4 года назад

Peter Luftensteiner hello! I had my halo off about 7 weeks ago now and was in a hard collar for two weeks and now home free! As lateral movement is between c1 and 2, my left movement is restricted a bit but it’s a consistent improvement, I’m back to an almost normal life now. It’s been a very frustrating summer, but I’m ready to move on with my life. How’s it going for you?

@peterluftensteiner4376 4 года назад

rory baker nice to hear you‘re doing good! summer was also rough for me but in my case they had to do a surgery where 3 vertebraes are connected by screws and some metal. in two days i will be allowed to move my head again which is pretty hard atm, but they said i will get back almost 100% of my mobility 🙌🏻 guess we just have to be glad to not be paralyzed after all. i only had the stiff neck but no halo, can‘t imagine the torture from it 😧

The "halo guy" is actually an Orthotist/Prosthetist. Those in that profession also fabricate prosthetic limbs and custom braces etc.. It's a small field but takes a lot of grad school certs/licensure to get to that point! Great work Tim!!

@johntrott7206 6 лет назад

Wow, an amazing story! I had a cycle accident in 2009 and had a head injury and 11 broken bones in total including two vertebrae in my neck and 3 in my back. Sadly, those 5 are still broken and give me constant pain and the maximum I can do on my bike now is 2 hours before the pain is too bad. Your story is inspirational to me and quite rightly to others. It bought back many memories but thank you for telling it and sharing your journey. Truly amazing to achieve what you have done and I wish you all the best to achieve what ever you want to because I believe you will. Thanks Tim for the inspiration.
