What Inspires You?, is the question that would forever alter the direction of Shad Ireland’s life. Being diagnosed at age 10 with MPGN Type 1 kidney disease and requiring kidney dialysis every other day in order to survive Shad’s outlook on life was grim. Inspiration was no where to be found. Dreams of becoming a professional athlete, of getting a college education, and even having a family seemed out of reach. Shad Ireland’s presentation, “What Inspires You?” will describe his 28 year journey from the dialysis chair to the finish line at Ironman! Shad Ireland is the only dialysis patient in the world to have successfully competed in and completed the Ironman triathlon. Shad has done over 20 triathlons including multiple Ironman’s. In 2009, He successfully rode his bicycle 4639 miles in 3 months across America, and will take on the sport of cycling in 2011 & 2012 by completing several of the toughest cycling tours around the world.

“An individual inspired can accomplish anything, and we have the ability to inspire others by doing what inspires us! What Inspires You?”
