The Bright Side of the Road Foundation is proud to annouce that Desiree Cowie will be competing in the IronMan France competition in Nice on June 28th, 2009, and raising money for the Bright Side of the Road Foundation.

Desiree said, “Most of us are so fortunate that we can choose to train, everyday we have the option which may depend on a variety of things, but the option is there. Some are not so fortunate.”

Desiree is refering to Barry Winovich, who along with his family and his friends, founded the Bright Side of the Road Foundation soon after his diagnosis with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease.”

“As part of my training I recently completed the Fools Run 50K Trail race, probably one of the hardest and enjoyable things I have ever done,” she said.  “Training through the winter has been a huge challenge, getting used to dressing and fuelling for the snow has had its ups and downs.  Nice will be hot, so hopefully Summer wont be long now.”

Desiree added, “Remember, whatever you are going through could always be worse – always look on the bright side.”
