Bio

Diagnosed with Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy as a child, Kyle Pease had grown up
supporting his athlete brothers Brent and Evan from the sidelines. While his condition limited his
ability to play sports, it didn’t dampen Kyle’s passion for them, nor did it stop the Pease family
from including Kyle in everything. Neither he nor his family treated his disability like a tragedy,
and instead used it to fuel his dreams and spirit; from rolling his wheelchair up Bridal Veil Falls
in Yosemite National Park to zipping down snow-covered Colorado slopes, there was never a
dull moment with the Pease family. Where there was a wheel, there was a way – to adventure!
Starting from scratch with no running chair, learning from others, and through trial and error and
a ton of hard work, Kyle and Brent Pease have since completed more than 75 races together,
including four IRONMAN triathlons and countless other endurance races. Finally, after years of
hearing ‘NO’ from their KONA applications, they were awarded the opportunity to participate in
the 2018 IRONMAN World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. This is historic, as they are the first
ever set of brothers and the second ever ‘push-assist team’ to compete in the iconic KONA
triathlon.
Brent and Kyle speak to audiences across the nation, sharing their message of inclusion and
define what is truly possible. Their presentations interweave both their perspectives of PEASY
life and their KONA quest, and Kyle and Brent recount the experiences that shaped the undying
bond that has resonated between them since childhood; through their strength and tenacity
audiences are inspired to stand up, face their own challenges and embrace change. Their
motivational message and humble style can show audiences ways to continually challenge
themselves and build the life they dream of.
