<div>Special Olympics Athlete Carla Simon, has qualified for the Ironman World Championships in Nice, France.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and experience. Carla became the 4th person in the world to ever finish an Ironman as an athlete with autism. By competing in this race, Carla is breaking barriers for athletes with disabilities worldwide - and reminding us all that anything <em>is</em> possible. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However, with only 5 months notice, the expenses are high (including $1,800 for registration alone). Not to mention we need to coordinate several logistics for this level of race -- and still find time to train!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help me make this dream a reality for Carla and for all of those who will come after her, looking up to this incredible achievement and story.
</div>
