Matthew Johnson is a born and bred midwesterner, ultra marathon runner, and US Army Veteran.

He joins to show to tell his story of overcoming adversity, and failing his way to success. Matt credits fitness and community for saving his life, and he wants to provide that opportunity to other military veterans by raising money for ValorFit a 501c3 Non Profit that pays for Veterans memberships into CrossFit or group fitness gyms. While running across Texas from El Paso to Galveston, Matt raised $30,000 for ValorFit and became the fastest person to accomplish the feat.

Wanting to do more for ValorFit he has doubled down where he'll run across Texas again, but this time from north to south.

You can find Matt on all social media platforms including instagram @mattjohnson__ and his Youtube channel.
