The Atlanta Story podcast features meaningful stories of Atlanta’s builders, creators, and entrepreneurs. In this episode Jon Birdsong sits down with Kyle and Brent Pease of the Kyle Pease Foundation.
Born and raised in Atlanta, Kyle Pease never let being diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy get in the way of living a normal life. Baseball, wrestling, and swimming were some of the many activities Kyle and his two brothers all grew up doing. As his older brother, Brent, started competing in triathlons, Kyle asked him: “Can people in a wheelchair do triathlons?” The answer was a resounding “Yes!” Since then, Kyle and Brent have run triathlons, marathons, and more. The climax was crossing the finish line in Kona -- the SuperBowl of triathlons. In today’s episode, Kyle and Brent share insights into perseverance, training, growing awareness around athletes with disabilities, and more.
