The Ironman is the hardest one day endurance event the world. For any that have had the privilege to compete in the event, they can tell you that it was the biggest defining moment in their life. Sure we all are going to have great and defining moments with children being born, promotions, graduations, etc., but THIS...THIS...THIS moment has only happened to less than .01% of the world.
What would it mean to me? Well, it would mean a lot, but what it will mean to Shawn's Anomaly is more important. It proves that the leader of a the organization will do whatever it takes to raise awareness that will eventually help families from ever having to go through what Rachel, Shawn, and I did alone again. It also gives me a chance to tell our story and the stories of other families affected by birth defects on a world stage and on television. That would be huge!
So what should it mean to you? It should mean that it will never happen unless you vote and share the Kona Inspired video. It means that you will play a huge role by making this happen.
It we don't make it again, we will have to wait another year and hope that we can gain enough exposure next year to finally get the invitation to the Ironman World Champion or until I quit trying.
So when is it time for me to quit trying for when is it time for you to quit voting and sharing? Well...

So my answer is NEVER! To many families are in need of this awareness and assistance. Help me keep up the charge. Let's march on together!
