Great story!

 

 

I raced the Cleveland Triathlon yesterday, which is a huge fundraiser for UCP, and it was nothing short of pure inspiration watching all those families out there with kids in wheelchairs or walkers, pulling them in rafts or behind their bikes.   Always the best event of the year.

There is a short clip of him finishing being shared and commented on here in the UK. Sorry I can't post a link, but it's on the Facebook page 'The Castle Triathlon Series'

Thanks for sharing. These stories always inspire me and remind me of all the things we can take for granted.
