DISABILITY AND IRONMAN

Please help and Give generously.
For those who are new to this  blog My name is John Cooke .I am a solicitor in Perth, Western Australia and a current Committee member/ Vice -President and Past president of the Ethnic Disability Advocacy Centre.( EDAC )

I am also a wannabe triathlete. I have recorded my training and thoughts on my journey in triathlon over the past 2 years on a blog. I am now training towards Ironman Lanzarote on 21 May 2011 and Ironman Busselton on 4 December 2011 An Ironman is a triathlon with a 3.8km swim , 180km bike and 42 km run.

As part of my commitment to compete in these two events I hope to raise funds for EDAC towards continuing the support and assistance they provide to people with disabilities so that an individual with a disability may realise their full potential .

In the sport of triathlon , many ordinary people from all walks of life come to realise that what seemed extraordinary in the beginning can be overcome with dedication and perseverance. For someone with a disability providing a voice and advocating for their rights to realise their potential is such a similar journey of possibility.
