My name is Mark Weber, I am a 28-year-old firefighter from Greenville, SC and I have taken on the challenge to become an Ironman. I've embarked on this immense undertaking as a tribute to the most incredible person I ever knew, my Dad. Over the next year I will share my experiences, training sessions, fundraising efforts, and thoughts about the goal of becoming an Ironman. I've created this blog to chronicle my journey towards the finish line in Louisville, Kentucky in August of 2014.

Becoming an Ironman is a long arduous journey filled with many roadblocks and obstacles along the way. Preparation for the most demanding athletic event known to man will test me beyond anything I've ever experienced. 2.5 miles of open water swimming, 112 miles of back breaking cycling, and 26.2 of pure running stand between me and the title of Ironman. I am Strong As Iron and I am ready for the challenge.

Ironman Foundation - Your Journey, Your Cause

As I stated in the introduction, through this blog I'll be sharing my fundraising efforts leading up to Ironman Louisville. Over the next year, I'll be fundraising via the Ironman Foundation and be racing for the American Cancer Society specifically. Through the "Your Journey, Your Cause" program, I will be able to raise funds for cancer research and support services for cancer patients like my Dad. Beginning in late November, Ironman will provide me a personalized webpage where I can tell my story and collect tax-detuctible donations for the Cancer Society. In the mean time, I'm still spreading the word of my journey and my cause for becoming an Ironman... So stay tuned!!
