Diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a child, Kyle Pease had grown up supporting his athlete brothers Brent and Evan from the sidelines. While his condition limited his ability to play sports, it didn’t dampen Kyle’s passion for them, nor did it stop the Pease family from including Kyle in various excursions. From rolling his wheelchair up Bridal Veil Falls in Yosemite National Park to zipping down Colorado snow slopes, there was never a dull moment with the Pease brothers. Where there was a wheel, there was a way to adventure.
Upon witnessing Brent complete his first IRONMAN competition, Kyle asked Brent a life-changing question: “Can people in wheelchairs do IRONMAN?” Brent never hesitated with his response. The answer was a resounding yes. Learning from others and through their own hard work, the brothers competed in IRONMAN competitions around the country and were ultimately awarded the opportunity to participate in the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. In this memoir that interweaves both their perspectives, Kyle and Brent recount the experiences that shaped the strength, tenacity, and undying bond that has resonated between them since childhood.

KYLE PEASE
A four-time IRONMAN triathlete, Kyle Pease has a career total of more than 75 races. Since 2011, he and his brother Brent have competed in races across the country, most recently becoming the first brother duo in history to complete the grueling IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, Hawaii.

Through his work with The Kyle Pease Foundation, he advocates for inclusivity in the sports world for athletes with disabilities. A motivational speaker and greeter at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, Kyle graduated from Kennesaw State University with a B.S. in sports management.
BRENT PEASE
Brent began his road to fitness in 2007 by training for a 10K. He went on to complete his first IRONMAN triathlon in 2010, and has not slowed down since. He has finished more than one hundred races, including ten IRONMANs, several 70.3 Half IRONMAN competitions, and Olympic distance events. Off the course, Brent is a multi-sport coach with Dynamo Multisport, as well as the executive director of The Kyle Pease Foundation. A graduate of Florida State University, Brent resides in Atlanta with his wife and two kids.
THE PEASE BROTHERS
The Pease brothers have completed more than 75 races together since 2011, including four IRONMAN triathlons and countless other endurance races. In October 2018, the brothers made history as the first brother duo to complete the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. Together they empower athletes with disabilities to compete in the multi-sport and endurance world through their nonprofit organization. The Kyle Pease Foundation promotes success for young persons with disabilities by providing assistance to meet their individual needs through sports and competition. Since its inception, it has championed more than one hundred athletes across sixty events. Through speaking engagements, the Pease brothers share their message of inclusion and help to define what is truly possible.
“As an endurance athlete myself, I still marvel when I witness an athlete who performs in a superhuman manner. The fight and spirit of the Pease Brothers is as remarkable as the connection and love they have for each other.”
HECTOR PICARD, Motivational speaker, Don’t Stop Living, LLC
“Wholesome and pure, Kyle and Brent model how to persevere, love, and live. These two brothers are amazing souls. Prepare to be inspired to inspire!”
MAJOR KIM “ROOSTER” ROSSITER, President of Ainsley’s Angels, United States Marine Corps
“When Rick and I began racing, we hoped and dreamed that others would someday follow in our tire tracks and footprints. Many years later, we now look around in amazement as the assisted running movement spreads around the world. We are sorry we couldn’t be there to see them cross the finish line. Kyle and Brent’s story of success brings me nearly as much joy as when Rick and I cross the finish line ourselves.”
DICK AND RICK HOYT, Father-and-son assisted IRONMAN World Champions
