So...before we got all the crazy and heartbreaking news last week, I had signed Little Buddy up as an adaptive entry for our local youth triathlon. We weren't sure if we were in the mental state to participate today, but we decided to go for it. I am SO GLAD we did. Will had a BLAST and it was amazing to feel the support and inclusion from our community. We are so proud of our 7 year old Sanfilippo child who swam, biked, and ran his way to being a TRIATHLETE!
Transition area is prepped!
Support crew is in position!
Ready to start the race with an adaptive swim, meaning he gets a lifejacket and Momma in the pool!
Ready to get in that water and GO!
The swim is on!
Out of the water and onto his adaptive trike with Daddy and Uncle M!
Heading into the run portion with Daddy and then zooming into the finish!
He did it! And in under 20 minutes too, which is pretty spectacular in our book!
Grateful to our YMCA for recognizing that inclusion matters!
Grateful for our WILLPower support team!
Grateful for every moment and memory with this guy.
A very proud,
LBM
Little Buddy's Momma
