Another real hero coming from the Iron Man Challenge.

I can't help thinking that the behavior of her parents not picking her up and her coach sending her to play with the wall played a KEY ROLE in building the motivation into her mind that she could beat her disability.

She has done that and much much more than that. Look at what she's turned herself into: a hero.

And what a gorgeous hero she is!

What a woman! Sarah, you are an inspiration - what tenacity, what dedication, what discipline, but most of all what a belief in yourself and your own ability and capacity. How you have developed your independent will to drive you to achieve - you are truly tougher than the rest. Your strength of character and your very essence radiates and touches hearts to change minds to inspire them to achieve.

Today Sarah was in my school on Long Island New York which is the place where she grew up. I got her autograph and a pic with her.
