Jay Hewitt has now completed the ironman after under going 2 brain surgeries, 30 radiation sessions and a year of chemo.
His inspiration? His 7-year-old daughter named Hero.
"I wont let cancer, no matter how brutal, stop me from teaching my daughter an important lesson: when life knocks you down, look up to Jesus for hope, then get up trusting him to give you strength, and press on towards your dreams.
With God anything is possible because God makes the weak, strong."
