AN OLD IRISH BLESSING
AN IRONMAN WITH HEART, Milwaukee, WI
Very few people would question the fact that Ironman triathlon is
one of the most grueling events in the world of sport. The
commitment, discipline and ambition necessary to complete a 2.4 mile
swim, 112 mile bike ride and 26.2 mile run are nothing short of
inspirational.
The Janus Charity Challenge captures this inspiration in a powerful
way by encouraging Ironman participants to raise funds for a charity
of choice.
Shortly after learning of Paige’s diagnosis, a work colleague of
mine, Eric Distad, informed me that he would like to participate in
the Janus Charity Challenge using a charity of my choice.
On September 11, 2005, enduring 94º weather and a heat index of 100,
Eric completed his first triathlon in 13 hours and 49 minutes. Eric
placed 835 out of 2073 participants and raised over $1300 for
life-saving CF research. Congratulations Eric, and thanks to
everybody that donated money. You give our family hope!
