Special Forces Soldier, Sergeant First Class Mike Fiocca, takes us through his mental struggles, which took him to the point of having a gun to his head but then persevering through an arduous recovery that culminated with him running a 100-mile ultra-marathon. He shares his personal story, hoping it may help those struggling through internal issues in silence.
