A Hero -- Please Read
Please take time to read the following excerpt from Marc's blog. You can
read more about Marc's own story on his web site,
www.10-hours.com or www.triscottsdale.org.



What is a Hero? Some believe a Hero is one who is admired or idealized for
courage or outstanding achievements. I think that definition holds true
most of the time but it does not completely encompass who/what a Hero does.
For example, to a child his/her mother or father is often a Hero. But there
is more. How can a person who is a Hero to one become a Hero to all. In my
mind's eye, a Hero has to be bigger than life. He can do things that no one
else can do. Let me share a story about a Hero.

This is a sad story. As I was walking out the door and heading for Masters
swim, an email popped up across my iPhone that said "Help". I decided to
read it. It was a forward from a friend of mine. My interest was peaked as
I read "Phoenix Children's Hospital" in the header. I then read a sad story
about a seven-year-old boy who unfortunately will likely not make it through
this weekend. One line caught my attention. The line stated this child's
dying wish. It read, in essence, "There is no time for a trip to Disney
World, etc. or any other exotic locale." The letter went on to explain that
the child was from a family of biking enthusiasts and that this child had
one wish and that was to talk to Lance Armstrong.

Well. Lewis was waiting for me and I told him about the email and we both
talked about life's uncertainties and just how lucky we were to not be
facing these problems. I thought of my kids and reflected on the hell that
this child's family must be going through. And, I thought about how
impossible it would be for us to get this to happen.

I then asked Lewis if he knew of anyway to get in touch with Lance. Just a
few years ago, Lance and Lewis rode together and had a few meals together.
Lewis wasn't sure at the moment. Then I thought of a friend who did indeed
know Lance. I called her, we discussed the email, and I sent the email to
her. A few minutes later she called me crying about the child's plight. A
moment after that she asked me for the child's home phone number. (We knew
he was at home because Phoenix Children's Hospital discussed how Hospice was
staying with him at his home.) She told me, "no promises" but that she would
get this information to Lance. I thought, "Cool we got the info out there.
It is highly unlikely that anything will happen." Anyway, the next day I
received an email from the lady at Phoenix Children's Hospital confirming
that Lance did indeed call this child. The email explained that it was this
type of thing that made her job. Her job was fulfilling the wishes of these
unfortunate kids.

How freaking cool is that. First, that someone spends their days and nights
helping children and their families in perhaps their most challenging times
and second, that Lance actually called.

I was shocked that someone actually did this stuff. You hear about these
stories from time to time but they never happen to you. I was overwhelmed
that he actually called this child. Lance Armstrong was a Hero of mine
before this but now he is a Hero for so many more reasons. I pray that this
child had a happy moment talking to his Hero.

Two area women athletes whose names are synonymous with women's fitness have joined our cause in promoting women's health.

Gea, Johnson, a multi-sport Olympian, won America's first ever Ms. National Fitness Championship in 1986. She has gone on to become a spokesperson and fitness model for top organizations across America. Gea is continually sought after as a contributing writer. She has written columns and contributed to articles in many national health and fitness publications.

Johnson is now one of the most successful and accomplished women in the history of the competitive fitness family. (www.geajohnson.com)

Hillary Biscay, one of the toughest competitors on the women's triathlon pro circuit, completed 8 full Ironman competitions last year. Hillary finished in the top 5 in those events a remarkable four times. In 2006, Hillary became the first person to record six top-5 finishes. In 2006, Hillary also made history when she won the swim at Ironman Wisconsin outright and went on to hold the overall lead for an hour and a half. (www.hillarybiscay.com)
