Kyle Pease was born with Cerebral Palsy with Spastic Quadriplegia. His brother, Brent, decided not to wait until their mom woke up on Saturday mornings in order to bring Kyle downstairs to join him\u2014he took it upon himself to get Kyle down the stairs\u2014not because of any other reason than he wanted his buddy there to watch cartoons.

Fast forward more than a decade later, Brent began to tackle the sport of triathlon. Kyle accompanied Brent to his first Ironman in Louisville, spectating and cheering on an unseasonably hot day from his motorized chair. At the conclusion of the race, Kyle wondered if he could also become a triathlete. The brothers\u2019 friend, Betty Janelle, said, \u201cWell of course you can!\u201d and the wheels (pun intended) began to turn. The dream was born from there.

Kyle and Brent completed their first triathlon at St. Anthony\u2019s triathlon in Florida in 2011, and went on to achieve what would seem to be impossible\u2014Ironman Wisconsin and Ironman Florida in subsequent years.
