Sometimes we just need someone extraordinary to give us a push, give us some motivation to be able to do anything that we put our minds to.

Last October, Johnny, who has cerebral palsy, was chosen to participate in the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. Accompanied by his father, Johnny struggled through the race not giving up, until an unfortunate squall during the swim made the 200 yards a huge problem for Johnny and the energy he needed for the remainder of the race. Despite this, he made better time than was hoping to in the swim, but much of his energy was gone, so he was unable to make the biking cut-off time.

This hasnt stopped Johnny, as he has an extraordinary role model, Micheal Phelps. To get himself motivated, Johnny would watch the Under Armour commercial featuring Phelps, Rule Yourself to help give him the never-give-up attitude that he has.

In the video below, you will see Johnny walking by himself, for the first time he and his family owe this all to the inspiration that Phelps is.
