Back in 1996 Jim Howley did what many thought was impossible for someone with HIV and AIDS: He finished the Ironman Triathlon World Championship. Jim joined us twenty years later to take us through his journey.

Jim and Bob – The 1996 Ironman telecast was one of the most inspirational videos I used, many times over the next nine years, to get me to the start, and finish line, of the 2005 Ironman Kona race. Bless you, Jim, for being you. It is amazing to still hear the passion and belief in your voice! The timing is perfect; never have I needed to be reenergized like the last few years. From the ashes, brother, can we build another day (hey, isn’t that the Moody Blues?! 🙂 ). Good luck in your NYC marathon training. Hmmm. Been about thirty one years for that one. See what you may have created?!
Carpe Diem, gentlemen!
Again, incredible thanks to both of you.
Sincerely,
Tom Hamilton
