Steve’s journey began as an unstoppable young athlete who rocketed to fame in the Uncle Toby’s Iron Man and Nutri Grain Iron Man series. At just 23, he claimed the title of Australian Ironman Champion—a feat many athletes only dream of. But it wasn’t just his physical strength that won him titles; it was also his indomitable willpower.
Then life threw him a curveball. At age 38, Steve was diagnosed with the exceedingly rare Poems Syndrome. The prognosis? A mere 2 years to live. Instead of spiraling into despair, Steve strapped on his racing speedos and took on the most critical race of his life: the race against time.
