520 In 2008, Bonner Paddock summited Mount Kilimanjaro. Four
years later, he earned the triathlete title Kona Ironman.
Thousands have done each individually; Bonner is the first
person with cerebral palsy to do both. Bonner grew up just
wanting to be ordinary. Despite his skinny legs and habit
of tripping over nothing, he fought to keep up with his
athletic older brothers and did everything he could to
feel like a regular kid, even when it became clear he
wasn't. After being diagnosed with cerebral palsy at age
eleven, Bonner didn't let it limit him---instead he simply
ignored its existence. For the next eighteen years, he
guarded the truth about his health, building a normal life
and keeping his secret from everyone. But the sudden death
of a friend's young son Jake, who also suffered from
cerebral palsy, forced Bonner to reevaluate who he was. No
longer content striving for normal, he began to pursue one
breathtaking experience after another in Jake's memory and,
in the process, raising international awareness about
cerebral palsy. Embracing his weaknesses to understand his
strengths, he pursued the ultimate adventure: the Ironman
in Kona, Hawaii, a race regarded by many as the hardest on
earth. Along the way he forged a renewed bond with his
family and launched a foundation to help disabled children
in Africa and at home. This is a story of perseverance
that demonstrates how our lives are not defined by limits,
but by the moments and lessons that push us past them.--
