Congratulations, Darren!

My nephew, Darren Smith, who lives in Camas, Washington, just completed the Florida Ironman marathon. That is a remarkable feat for anyone. For Darren, it must be especially sweet. Darren suffered an injury when he had an operation a few years ago. He has competed in the Challenged Athlete Foundation half marathons for a few years. This year, he was training to do the marathon with non-disabled people. They have legs that work normally. Darren, I am so very proud of you tonight. You made your dream come true. You are an Ironman!
