Ironman for Kids

Ironman for Kids IRONMAN FOR KIDS passionately seeks to raise awareness for Trisomy, a chromosomal disorder.

Thru various sporting events and programs, we strive to educate those that have never heard of trisomy, while also being a support group for families living with t We jump-started our foundation with Michael surpassing the Guiness World record for the most Ironmans in a year. Michael completed 16 Ironman’s in 9 months and met many wonderful people along the way.This goal paled in comparison to the

families he raced for and the races so to speak they run as they live through the unknown with the children they have chosen to embrace. Not much is heard or known about trisomy 13 and 18 unless your family is directly affected by it. We hope to change this and help further give it a voice in this world. Too many families receive wrong, out-dated information, or are forced to make decisions from pressure of medical professionals. We hope that accurate, unbiased information is provided to parents and that their choices are supported and their child’s dignity is respected. We now have a wonderful group of people from all over the world racing for team TRISOMYLIFE with lots of projects coming within this group. Plus we have branched out to help provide equipment to families with special needs children through our “Spin to Joy” program. Come explore our website and join us as we continue to search for new ways to triumph for trisomy.
