@Bored_Teachers Seriously! I was diagnosed with cancer and had to take a month of UNPAID sick leave while I recovered from a hysterectomy. Thank God my health insurance remained intact!
Japanese fans cleaned the WHOLE stadium after Japan tied the Netherlands. Hours later, NYC Knicks fans torched buses celebrating their first NBA title since 1973. Same win, opposite
character. Save this and share it with someone who needs to see the contrast.
In Australia, the captain of this football team went into the stands after his team won the championship to get their waterboy, who has Down's Syndrome, so they could celebrate together. 🙌
As someone who’s been singing the National Anthem at rodeo events for over 20 years, I’ll just say….
There’s a way it was intended to be sung, without your own spin. This was 💯the way! Bravo!
Chris Nikic, the first person with Down syndrome to complete an Ironman, completes Ironman 70.3 Massachusetts.
Shortly before the race, Nikic announced that he needed a guide to run alongside him for the race.
That's when Dr. Tommy Martin decided to step up.
"I learned more in this race than almost any other I have competed in, and none of it was about race tactics or how to PR. It was about life, perspective, determination, and grit. I owe all of that to Chris," Martin said.
"I hope every finish line Chris crosses serves as a reminder to the world: your diagnosis, your situation, your circumstances do not define your potential!"
Congrats, Chris!
