A Fireman Honoring 9/11 Firefighters

Ironman competitor Jeff Price, of Highland, CA, offers to shake hands with fellow competitor, fireman Robert Verhelst, along the marathon length run portion of the Ironman Coeur d'Alene course.  Fireman Rob participated in full fireman gear, weighing 50 pounds. Verhelst did this to honor those firefighters who died on 9/11.  Rob raises money for charity through awareness and donations.  He finished late in the evening with an official time of 16:31:55.
