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!

There is realistically nothing available the Brewers should give up Jesús Made for

I love this shit. How can you not love a kid that’s dotting 104, is in a dog fight for the ERA title while already having a sub-two and is willing to tell the reigning back-to-back NL Manager of the Year that this is his game. Absolute DOG.

A friend hand-delivered my book Normal to Arthur Brooks, and he responded with this incredibly thoughtful message.

His words about “dedicating the hard things to serving others” really stayed with me.

Grateful beyond words. ❤️

If you’ve read Normal, a quick Amazon review would mean a lot. Reviews help others discover the story. Thank you for the support.

Back home.

The early support for Normal has been incredible — thank you.

But this is bigger than a book.

“Wear the Message” as an identity.
For anyone who’s taken a hit and kept going.

The gear is live.

Not merch. A statement. Support for the mission.

@BadgerMBB @MattLepay Always giving the fans chills with these calls. No one better!

@BadgerMBB Love the pub for this thankless job (one I held in the 90’s) so I don’t mean 2 sound angry, but if you are gonna publish an article like this, you have 2 do your homework. There are at least 2 females 2 hold that position, shortly after I graduated. Amy Z and Megan S Look it up!
