A collection of multisport articles, interviews, and short stories that speak to the human side of the sport of triathlon and to the spirit of the triathlete. These pieces were all previously published by the author in different periodicals over a few years but have been brought together to serve as a dedication to the life, memory, and mission of Jon "Blazeman" Blais.
Jon won the hearts of millions in 2005 when he became the first patient with Lou Gehrig's disease to cross the finish line of the Ironman Triathlon World Championship. In May, 2007, Jon lost his battle with ALS, but his war carries on through The Blazeman Foundation.
Author, Stephen Brown encapsulates many of his multisport experiences which began back in 1987 and a portion of all book proceeds benefit The Blazeman Foundation and their continuous fight against ALS. Foreword written by Bob Mina.

"Blazeman's friend..." hi there. my name is kristina. blazeman's mom just forwarded this link to me. i was his roommate when he found out. it was very hard for me. i mean, that's all relative, when you consider what his family and his person went through - but, what i can say is that, knowing jon, he would want you to buy this book. not to keep HIS legacy alive but to help all the warriors who have yet to fall, and those warriors who have yet to be diagnosed with this horrible, horrible disease. he died almost two years to the day after his "official" diagnosis. that's nothing, people, nothing. so, $18 out of your pocket (or anyone you know) for this book, even if it gets dusty in your possession is nothing compared to helping the blazeman's dream live on: helping other warriors - BEFORE THEY FALL. thanks, kristina, san diego
