Inspiration

"What would you do if you knew you would be dead in five years from a terminal disease?"

Jason Blais figured out he had ALS or Lou Gehrigs disease before his doctors did. Instead of rolling over and awaiting the envitable, he decided to define his life by completing the Kona Ironman.

His story is partially published HERE

This isn't a sob story. Its a reveiling of character. Its a desire for a man to be bigger than himself.

I love stories like that. Have you read Deep Survival by Laurence Gonzales? He has 12 survival rules. Some one sent it to me when I was first diagnosed with cancer. Rule #7 is my fav ENJOY THE SURVIVAL JOURNEY. That is what Jason has figured out, he's surviving but doing the training and having a purpsoe and goal.
