Our goal was to complete an Ironman so I could walk us across the finish line: something that was easy for others but a marathon to me. We put in the work, the blood, sweat, and tears. It made us appreciate even more what other athletes feel. When we completed that 140.6-mile Ironman together it had an amazing impact on many people who had seen our story. We began to see that competing isn’t just about us crossing the finish line: it’s about helping others leave uncertainty in the dust—even those facing greater obstacles than we did.
We know now that we have the support of so many wonderful friends and family, and the title, finally, of Ironmen. But maybe more importantly, we have the chance to encourage more people than we ever thought we could. Now, we want to spread what we’ve learned about living beyond doubt and impossibility, so that everyone has a chance to motivate and encourage themselves and others, too.

Perhaps the most extraordinary element of Johnny Agar’s memoir is not that he has the guts, humor, and faith to overcome physical limitations, but that he views his cerebral palsy with deep appreciation for the way it shaped him into the man he is today. After Johnny was told by experts that he probably would never walk, an army of allies – from his family to caregivers, to friends and fellow athletes—teaches him what it takes to triumph against all odds. This is Johnny’s moving tale of unconditional love from a family who always believed in him, a faith that always guided him, and a courage deep inside that allowed him to accomplish the impossible. Inspirational, honest, and lightened with laughter, The Impossible Mile proves that no obstacle is too difficult to conquer, and that the road of life can be walked triumphantly by anyone facing challenges
