The Ironman® Journey of Open Heart Surgery Patients
An inspirational feature length documentary being filmed about a driven group of cardiac patients who are attempting to complete the world’s most grueling race, the Ironman® Triathlon. Along the way, they will explore the controversy surrounding sudden death in athletes. This project needs your help in raising funds to move into post-production. Your help is needed to share this inspirational message and to assist in raising funds for proper cardiac screening, which can, and will save lives.
The documentary is a first for Director Dave Watkins, himself a survivor of open-heart surgery and one of the 8 team members who competed in the Ironman® in November 2012. You can follow the cast’s progress on the website all the way through the launch of the film in 2014. You can also help support the production of the project through our tax-deductible fundraising program.
