In Chrissie's own words:
"Jon Blais, the 'Warrior Poet', epitomised everything that is great about our sport. His strength, in mind, body and character, his determination in the face of adversity, his passion for triathlon, his fighting spirit and his desire to make a difference has touched thousands, and continues to inspire people each and every day.
It is my hope that this auction not only raises much needed funds for the ALS 'Blazeman' Foundation, but also help increase awareness about this dreadful, debilitating disease; support efforts to improve research and find possible cures, and ensures that Jon's work - and his strength and courage - lives on. Thank you all so much for bidding!"
Smiles, always,
Chrissie
World Ironman Champion 2007 and 2008"

On May 2, 2005, twenty-year Multi-Sport veteran Jon Blais a.k.a. "Blazeman" at age 33 was diagnosed with the fatal motor neuron disease ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). Blazeman dubbed himself the "ALS Warrior Poet" and brought his battle to the big island of Hawaii on October 15th that year, where he became the first person with ALS to complete the Ironman World Championships. It was his last race. In 2006, a number of athletes, inspired by Jon's 2005 efforts, rolled across the finish line in Hawaii in honor of Jon and his battle against ALS. In 2007, the Blazeman Foundation for ALS expanded Team Blazeman, comprised of "Blazeman Warriors" who have committed to raising awareness and funding a search for a cure for ALS..."So Others May Live."
