VIDEO: Matt Burns Makes Strides Toward Recovery
The 2011 Dedham graduate participated in a 1.25-mile walk just three months after breaking a vertebra.
For Matt Burns, the past three months have opened up his eyes and taught him not to take anything for granted.
On July 23, Matt struck his head against a pool, breaking his C5 vertebra. He spent four weeks in a full-time rehabilitation center before going home and continuing physical therapy at Journey Forward in Canton.
Matt participated in Journey Forward's second annual Making Strides event on Saturday where clients march 1.25 miles in a show of strength and support.
