"Even when you are broken, hopeless and bankrupt, you can still achieve the extraordinary!" - Jason Romero
Jason has been the proverbial "underdog" in life. He comes from humble beginnings and was raised by a single-mother who taught him the value of a strong work ethic. In his teen years he was told he would go blind, and his dream of having a professional career was out of the question. Despite the bleak prognosis, Jason eventually became an attorney and business executive. As Jason's eye disease progressed, he experience a severe depression. It was at this low point in life that Jason accepted the challenge to, and did run 51.5 miles/day from Los Angeles to New York. Jason believes "all things are possible!"
