One Southwest Philadelphia man saw his life twist upside down after he nearly died from COVID, but now is inspiring others and taking on the Broad Street Run.
For many, life is back to normal since the pandemic began three years ago. But, for one family from Southwest Philadelphia, life has been anything but normal. That’s because Rodney Wescott, husband and father of two, nearly died after his bout with COVID in 2021."They told me, they said, ‘You have 15 minutes to live,’" Rodney Wescott stated.
"I woke up and my whole life was turned upside down. I couldn’t walk, I couldn't talk. I said what’s going on?" Rodney said.Day by day, week by week, he got stronger and walked out of physical rehabilitation in April of 2021. In five months, he’d been in four different hospitals. Seven months later, Rodney walked up the steps of the Art Museum. Last November, he climbed them again. "These things became a possibility to me and it was because of the adversity that I went through."
