The Blazeman: an Ironman

The Blazeman: an Ironman
Completing in an ironman triathlon is no small feat - a 2.4 mile swim followed by a 112 mile bike ride followed by a marathon (26.2 mile run)! Jon Blaise recently completed all of this while having a debilitating disease called ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), which attacks the motor neurons, or nerve cells, in the brain and spinal cord. "I think when I'm sitting in a wheelchair, down the road, I'll know that I've fought the great fight," Jon smiles. "This is it. Your life. Face your fears and live your dreams."
