 • In 2009, Rudy became the first bilateral, above the knee amputee to complete an Ironman distance triathlon (Arizona).• Rudy has been featured on Oprah and was named by People Magazine as one of “20 Teens Who Will Change the World”.• Rudy tours the country as a motivational speaker sharing his message: "A Brave Heart is a Powerful Weapon." At age five, after 15 corrective operations with limited results, he told his parents he wanted to move on; he would rather be a double amputee than continue to put up with what his life had become. Shortly thereafter he had both legs removed above the knee.What gradually followed was the blossoming of a world class athletic talent. At eight years old, he told all who would listen that he would swim in the Paralympics. At 10, he became the youngest bilateral amputee to complete a triathlon on his own. The same year, he set his first national record in swimming.In 2004 he made good on his Paralympic promise, coming home from Athens with a gold medal and a world record. Four years later in Beijing he did the same; another gold medal and another world record.Seeking an even greater challenge, in 2009 he became the first ever bi- lateral above the knee amputee to complete an Ironman (2.5 mile swim, 110 mile bike, 26.2 mile run).
