Blue Ridge Parkway
Nelson County, Virginia
November 2, 2008 started off as a fantastic day for Matthew Miller. He was a 20 year old third year student at UVA. But all of that changed in an instant later that morning as he biked along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
“Matthew Miller had just pedaled up a mountain pass. He was 20, a member of the University of Virginia triathlon club, so fit his resting pulse was 42! He was on top of the world in so many ways, in love, with dreams of attending medical school. And then, cycling along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, tragedy struck. The real story is not what happened, but what happened after. Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Michael Vitez shares with you the incredible, humbling, miraculous story of Matt’s survival and recovery. It is a story, truly, of grace and grit, of an America that shines – families, community, individuals and institutions. The story is as gripping as it is inspiring. Ride along!”
