In the Spring of 2016, I was diagnosed with a rare, genetic heart disease called ARVC (Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy).

When there is no finish line…
How to train like an Olympian. An athlete only has the opportunity to become an Olympian once every 4 years. Many are prepared to train for a minimum of 8 years in the hopes that they can make it to the podium and come home with a medal. In all...

Ironman Canada 2015
