I am very proud of the work you put into all of this and it will be great to see you finish your first half ironman at our Racing for Recovery event. <BR/><BR/>It is great to not only see you taking care of yourself physically but I know this is helping you emotionally and mentally as well. Also it is great for our 4 amazing kids to see their parents out taking care of themselves.
