Zoe's Cyborg

It means that much to him.

Michael Hennessey wants to set the Guinness Book of World Record for the most Ironmans. He's doing it so that people start finding out about Trisomy 13 and 18. He's trying to qualify for a huge race in Kona, HI. He's doing more for kids like Zoe than anyone I know.

Makes me want to hug him. What about you? Well, he's coming to Madison, Wisconsin on September 7, and we Bats are going to break off our little trip away so we can give him a hug.

If you all plan on going to meet him in Madison, let us know and we'll all show up together. Who wants to see the Ironman with Zoe? I'll try and get a picture for you.

If you all have any more questions, please get them to me and we'll do a little q'n'a. That's question and answer.

    WOW, WOW, AND ANOTHER BIG WOW!!!
    I have tears in my eyes that you have embraced Michael so, when really it is your family and sweet Zoe, and so many like yours that have taken a hold of our hearts and turned Michael into that Cyborg!!
    When the Holy Spirit gives that quiet tug at ya, you try your best to answer. That's all you can do really, the grace of God does the rest, and I guess a cyborg is born!! So funny!
    I think the hugs from you will mean more to Michael than you will ever know. It is your fervent witness, and beautiful humble witness at that, to the sanctity of life, abandonment to a Fathers plan, and persevering strength that may feel weak at times, that witnesses and teaches us daily. A few ironmans is the least we could do to open up some hearts to the same.
    I only wish I could be there to meet you all too, and hold sweet Zoe, but we barely got Michael there.
    Oh, and as far as ironman.com article disappearing, hmmm-don't know if our cause was too pro-life or what, but it was up three days---like the Trinity---like the third chromosome---funny or providential---maybe they will put it back if more people bug 'em in a nice way! Case in point--these wonderful children need the respect of any other child.
    God bless you guys.

  2. I live by where they come running every year. They are less than 3 blocks from my house.

    I am so glad Zoe is continuing to eat, breathe and fight.
