Beyond the Finish by Kyle Pease

Beyond the Finish by Kyle Pease

For the most part, my childhood was

much like that of so many of my peers.

I tried to get in trouble on occasion,

but other than that I got to share some

incredible experiences along the way.

Never would you guess I spent my days

confined to a wheelchair. Much of what I

learned helped shape where I wanted to

be when I grew up. Growing up Peasey

was a blessing and makes me proud of

how I've grown and continue to grow to

this day.

Diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a child,

Kyle Pease had grown up supporting his athlete

brothers Brent and Evan from the sidelines.

While his condition limited his ability to play

sports, it didn't dampen Kyle's passion for

them, nor did it stop the Pease family from

including Kyle in various excursions. From

rolling his wheelchair up Bridal Veil Falls

in Yosemite National Park to zipping down

Colorado snow slopes, there was never a dull

moment with the Pease brothers. Where there

was a wheel, there was a way to adventure.

has a career total of more than 75 races. Since 2011,

he and his brother Brent have competed in races

across the country, most recently becoming the

first brother duo in history to complete the grueling

IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, Hawaii.

Born with Cerebral Palsy, Kyle has strived for a life

beyond his wheelchair. Through his work with The

Kyle Pease Foundation, he advocates for inclusivity

in the sports world for athletes with disabilities.

A motivational speaker and greeter at Piedmont

Hospital in Atlanta, Kyle graduated from Kennesaw

State University with a B.S. in sports management.
