@historyinmemes Kid with cerebral palsy finishes triathlon
In 2013, Pheidippides, a man with Down Syndrome, had a dream to participate in an IRONMAN Triathlon. His brother, Nikias, made this dream come true by helping him train for the event. The brothers completed the grueling race together, with Pheidippides swimming 2.4 miles, cycling 112 miles, and running 26.2 miles. Their inspiring story showcases the power of determination and the bond between siblings.
@historyinmemes Kyle has cerebral palsy and competes in races just feet in front of his brother Brent, who swims, bikes and runs the 140.6-mile competition with Kyle in tow. In a time of 15 hours, nine minutes and 24 seconds, the two brothers from Atlanta overcame all odds and became Ironmen.
