When you look at their photo you see two very happy people. Jordan perhaps has a reason to be unhappy but this young lady understands that her happiness is a matter of choosing to forsake negative thoughts and insecurities and replace them with positive, warm and productive thoughts or what we call well-being. Jordan was born pre-mature and spent the first 9 months of her life, with her twin brother Josh, in the prenatal unit of the hospital battling for her life. Through the love and prayers of her parents, Todd and Heather, she survived but now has the physical and social challenges of cerebral palsy. You would never know she has this affliction because this young lady is very articulate, sweet and kind. She also motors around pretty well with her purple canes! Heather calls her twins her "miracles" and thanks God for this gift in her life.

Heather is one of the world's top female professional triathletes and winner of five Ironman®* competitions. This lovely and energetic lady owns IronEdge Coaching, one of the best multi-sport coaching firms in the United States. She is also an accomplished inspirational speaker with her messages coming from her heart. When you meet Heather you recognize that she is a humble Christian, a joyful person with a forever smile, wife to a wonderful husband and mom to three children.

Heather understands the importance of well-being in her racing by choosing to disregard negative thoughts and replacing them with glowing positive thoughts. She talks of the pain during the marathon portion of an Ironman® Triathlon and how she chooses to focus her attention on more important subjects like her family. Jordan writes her notes to tell Heather to keep pushing on and to not give up, just like she does. While racing Heather calls Jordan her "secret weapon". She derives much of her resolve and tenacity by emulating Jordan's steadfastness in overcoming the physical and social challenges created by cerebral palsy.

Heather is also one of JoyfulHope.org's motivational speakers.
