She entered in mini triatholns to prepare for the ironman she had a trianer to help for the race. In the end she finished and rasied money for not only her own childern but others with the same disease. She was upset and over weight and she changed her life around all for her kids isn't that amazing! She did the Ironman as a personal challenge.
