It is when you are confronted with challenges that you see what you are really made of, what is important to you and what your true aspirations are…sometimes you think that you really know yourself, and then you find out that you really don’t.

The relationship that I had with my father did not stop when he passed away. An example is me doing the Pacific swim. If I didn’t have the father that I had I wouldn’t be doing this.
