Born with cerebral palsy, Kyle Pease knew his life was different and understood he would always need help but believed he could do everything others could do. His family believed the same and chose a mindset of relentless optimism to focus on what he can do vs cant’t do. He graduated from Kennesaw State University with a degree in sports management and partnered with his brother Brent Pease for a creer total 125 races including making history as the first push-assist brother duo to complete the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, Hawaii.
While Brent’s resume includes 11 Ironman events and several 70.3 and Olympic distance triathlons, he shares countless examples of being physically broken needing his brother, Kyle to work even harder mentally to inspire them both to realize, “where there's a wheel, there's a way!”
Like many siblings, Brent and Kyle tease eachother, yell at eachother and show unconditional love for eachother. Through their nonprofit, the Kyle Pease Foundation, they have championed more than 100 athletes across 1000+ events and raised more than $10 million in aid. They have offered support through programs such as scholarship opportunities, purchasing adaptive sports equipment and participating in educational campaigns about cerebral palsy and other disabilities.
By going through this journey together, they have both become better brothers, better friends and better men by becoming better, “one mile at a time. “
