I'm fundracin' for MS research! Please help me reach my goal to encourage those living with MS and beyond!

My Race

Race: Ironman - Coeur D'Alene

Where: Coeur D'Alene, Idaho

Date: August 21, 2016

My Story
For my third year as a team member of Team Endurance, I'm training to complete my first Ironman triathlon. Training for Ironman is taking a small village to accomplish. Alicia and Stone are by my side cheering for me every step of the way, my coach and training community are challenging my physical and mental fitness, and friends and family support me wholeheartedly.

My Encouragement
Seeing people and their families living actively. As part of my training, i hope to show others they can live healthy, active lifestyles - and have fun while they're at it! Just keep moving! Alicia and I endeavor to create active, healthy habits as examples to Stone as he grows. I hope everyone can find an activity they enjoy, and get after it! Alicia and I have an inside joke around the phrase "Attack with vigor!" - not so much of a joke as a way to live life.

Dedication
I dedicate my race to my son, Stone Dagley. I hope to lead and teach him by example in all aspects.

Support the 2016 Team Endurance for MS
People with MS endure and encourage us onward, despite circumstances. It is our aim that we capture that spirit and share the encouragement forward through participating in endurance events. No matter what brings us to the starting line, we cheer each other to the finish line - in sport, in health and in life.
