It’s amazing how quickly life can change. On Oct 7, 2018, Mike Merrigan’s world changed when he was in a horrific accident that ultimately cost him his leg. Seven surgeries and 3-years later, Mike shares his story publicly for the first time right here on the IMPACT Show podcast. It’s a story of perseverance, positivity, resilience, “getting your mind right,” and a Never Give-Up attitude.
