I believe that if you refuse to accept nothing but the best in life you very often get it.

A few years ago I could not even run a mile and was a 300 lb fat guy. After running my first marathon and losing a bunch of weight, I said to myself, why not more? So I signed up for an Ironman Triathlon. And I did that. And many other triathlons and marathons and many lost pounds. Endurance sports has changed my life in many profound ways. I have learned to push myself beyond boundaries no one ever thought possible.

Endurance sports has brought me a lot of inner peace that nothing on earth can even come close to. It has brought me accomplishments I did not think were humanly possible. I have met amazing and inspirational people that have touched and changed my life in profound ways. And of course it has brought me amazing health. So increasingly, I have began to view this ability to run dozens of miles at a time or to bike a hundred miles on little training as a gift. And it's time that I combine my gift that life has handed me and my drive to reach higher and higher goals to benefit others. Endure to Cure is a fantastic opportunity to combine my training to run my first 50 mile race and other races to raise money for pediatric cancer and I hope you support me on this journey in 2010 in beyond! No contribution is too small to make a big difference! Thank you, Peter
