My brothers and I had the privilege of watching our dad compete and his granddaughters were also witness to his courageous efforts, despite the pain. He showed us all, once again, that if you set your mind on achieving your goals you can accomplish anything. You are, as always, a true inspiration Maxie and we are all very proud of you. I think you even surprised yourself.
