An athlete in Rockford, Michigan, is inspiring others while training for the 2024 Ironman Championship in Kona, Hawaii, with a special teammate.
The teammates were unable to finish the triathlon at the time, but now they have another opportunity in 2024 to show the world anything is possible with hard work.
“I’m not doing it because I love it. It wasn’t like a dream of mine. This is Johnny’s dream. I’m just giving him the legs and the power to do it,” his fatherIn 2022, the pair finished on their sixth try to complete a full Ironman triathlon in Maryland, and Johnny even walked across the finish line. The young man told MLive.com, “I’ve always thanked my dad for how much he inspires me and how hard he works to get me across the finish line. But you can tell a person thank you so many times, and until you put your words into action, it doesn’t mean anything.”
“What makes it more meaningful? If you put your words in action, and that‘s what I try to do every day,” Johnny added.
