I read a story on CNN today and it’s one of the more inspiring athletic stories I have read in a long time. After surviving cancer a few times, Kyle Garlett was faced with the realization that he had to face secondary leukemia as a result of his treatment for previous cancer. After 3 more years of chemo, he then faced the reality that he needed a new heart because his had been weakened from his treatment and after several years on a waiting list, he received one. Most people would have considered themselves lucky and taken a break but not Kyle, he decided to push himself and complete an Ironman with his new heart to raise awareness for organ donation.
