Have ya;ll heard of Shad Ireland?  He is a 30 something, 35 (+ -) Hemo patient, been on dialysis since the age of 9-10.  He is a triathalon!  Awesome guy, I had the pleasure of meeting him years ago, he was going to move to San Antonio for training, and I had a home hemo program we talked about him moving to.  Any way, look him up online, he has MANY sites.  He is sponsered by many renal related companies, and is one of the most motivational people I have ever met, never mind, well the triathalete stuff... Interesting! :bandance;
