Trout has recovered through physical and mental rehab at the facility and is back to participating in some of his favorite activities including hiking and basketball.

Trout has a special message for the victims of the Boston Marathon to help encourage them in their recovery.

“Don’t give up on yourself, keep going, keep the positive attitude, keep a better positive attitude than you did before you lost everything that you had and I guarantee you that you will see the world around you, the people around you, everybody is changing and you are going to like it because I love it, I love it with everything I have now.”

Powerful words from a man who’s living proof you can do anything you set your mind to.
