H.O.P.E. Flag Workshop Documentary & Beginning of #KonaInspired Voting

It was a very long and hard three months of begging for votes. Thanks to your support and spreading the word, I was informed by Ironman that our video was one of the finalist of the "Kona Inspired" contest.  I can't tell you how overwhelmed I was to receive such great news. Now all we have to do is be the top two in my group of 15 to receive the most votes and we will cross the finish line with me at the toughest one day endurance in the world: The Ironman World Championship in Kona, HI.

I also have some other great news.  We finally had the opportunity to create the Shawn's Anomaly H.O.P.E. Flag through our partnership with the Museum of Cultural Arts Houston (M.O.C.A.H.). The experience was simply amazing.  It was a chance for volunteers, Team Shawn's Anomaly athletes, and families with children affected by birth defects to come together for one mission. Check out the short documentary about the H.O.P.E. Flag Workshop:



I have decided that I will not touch the flag until I grab it to carry it across the finish line in Kona.  It just another way to make this journey "one of a kind" and can never be repeated. If you or someone you has been affected by a birth defect, please CLICK HERE to sign the flag online.


The voting for finals starts today and will end on June 27th. I need your support for the next 11 days bigger than ever before. I ask that you please share DAILY the webpage www.sendshawnsironmantokona.com on your Facebook personal pages, twitter accounts and any other social media website you are use. Let your supporters know that you are personally connected to this journey and what it would mean to the birth defect awareness on a world stage if the journey was highlighted at the Ironman World Championship.

Rachel, Shawn and I thank you so much for your support.

Daily Till June 27th
