I'm not quite sure how I managed to finagle my way onto the cover as well but there I am too. The HERO of this story is Brian Dalton! Brain has been helping us raise funds for Rett Syndrome for 3 years now, however, this year he's going well above and beyond and competing in the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon.
Brian says "As far as as triathlons go, it doesn't get any bigger or more challenging that the Escape From Alcatraz race. The race is also symbolic of how the girls are in essence a prisoner in their own bodies. Their minds are free, but their bodies are broken. So, to help out, I'm going to put myself and my body through one of the most challenging races I could find."
