When my Mom was in the hospital recovering from major surgery I came back to Edmonton to stay with her. I brought some cards that my Coach had made up with my Ironman finishing photo and an inspirational quote inside. Mom had it on her bulletin board.

She got discharged from the hospital and then ended up being readmitted later. By this time I was back home. But a nurse that she had the first time around came in to see her. She wanted to tell my Mom that I had inspired her to get back into exercise. Someone I don't even know and I helped to change their attitude. You never know what influence you might be having on someone. All the more reason to lead a good life.
