Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
The inspirational true story of Andrew 'Drew' Johnston, who was diagnosed with Leukemia (CML) after withdrawing from the 2004 Ford Ironman World Championship with just 10 miles to go, and who, just one year later, returned to complete the triathlon when his disease went into remission. As Drew strives to conquer his disease and cross the finish line, we bear witness to his incredible saga through his own vivid recollections, as well as candid interviews with his family and friends.
