2011 Reflections and Shawn's Ironman 2012

As I reflect back on 2011, I am so amazed at what has been accomplished this year.  I am so grateful to what has been accomplished both through my events and for medical research.   I did not realize how many people would actually follow this journey, and I get inspired by every comment that comes in from all over the world.  In case you have not followed the blog before here is a recap of 2011 (Click on the titles for actual article):

Without your support and the help from our sponsors, none of this could have happened in 2011.  Thank you for all of the support!

2012 is already starting to look like an amazing year.  It may be the final chapter of Shawn's Ironman, but it is also the continuation of Shawn's Anomaly and helping children from all over the world that have conditions like Shawn's.  Please sign up for the updates and like Shawn's Anomaly and Shawn's Ironman on facebook and twitter.  Here are just some of the events for 2012:

As we begin the new year, please take the time to consider being a part of this journey either as a volunteer, athlete, or donor.  You can click the buttons on the top right to help. Shawn's Anomaly is just starting to make strides to the development of treatment and care for children all over the world with conditions like Shawn.  Every little bit of help, regardless of how big or small, really goes a long way to us achieving the mission of preventing another family from ever having to go through what we did.  Will you attach your name to this mission?

Happy New Year, and tune in for more in 2012.
