    LFL I want to be a triathelete

    By LFisherlewis  |  Posted December 13, 2009  |  Molalla, Oregon
     

    I've been in community service most of my life. After being a police officer for nearly 20 years I was in a motor vehicle accident that forced me to retire. Shortly after retirement, my brother Lt. Col Randy Fisher was tragically killed. Over coming these tragedies have been one of the biggest challenges of my life. In the last year I have rehabilitated myself and have been given the okay to return to police work. I need to do this triathlon to rebuild my confidence as well as be an inspiration to others. I believe I can accomplish the training and successful training that the triathlon requires and hopefully inspire others that tragedies can be over come if we put our heart into believing.
