Brittany's Half Ironman/Marathon Goal

3 years ago I lost my 20 year old brother, Jon, to sudden cardiac arrest after we completed a half marathon in Milwaukee, WI. Following his loss, I developed a passion for promoting heart health awareness and living a healthier lifestyle myself. Within the past 3 years, I have completed 2 full marathons and this year decided to push myself to a new level. I will be completing the Madison Half Ironman in June and Chicago Marathon in October in honor of Jon.  The proceeds that I raise from these races will go toward the American Heart Association and Cardiac on Campus, a non-profit organization that my cousin and I started at UW-Madison.  These proceeds will help Cardiac on Campus continue to place AED units in UW-Madison dorm buildings, in hopes to prevent another early death like my brother.
