“The meaning of life is to live life.” -blazeman

The Blazeman Foundation for ALS, a 501(c)3 non-profit, rose out of efforts from Jon’s own determination and perseverance, his family's commitment, a committed group of ALS Warriors, and response from a Multi-Sport Movement who answered his call to wage War on ALS. On May 2, 2005 twenty-year Multi-Sport veteran Jon Blais a.k.a. "Blazeman" at age 33 was diagnosed with the fatal motor neuron disease ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). Blazeman dubbed himself the "ALS Warrior Poet" and brought his battle to the big island of Hawaii on October 15th that year, where he became the first person with ALS to complete the Ironman World Championships. It was his last race. In 2006, a number of athletes, inspired by Jon’s 2005 efforts, rolled across the finish line in Hawaii in honor of Jon and his battle against ALS. In 2007, the Blazeman Foundation expanded Team Blazeman, comprised of "Blazeman Warriors" who have committed to raising awareness and funding a search for a cure for ALS... "so others may live." Welcome to Blazeman’s War On ALS.

TEAM BLAZEMAN: A Multi-Sport Movement to End Lou Gehrig’s disease…

• TEAM BLAZEMAN is a nationwide team of multi-sport athletes racing for a cause bigger than themselves.
• BLAZEMAN WARRIORS train and race in TEAM BLAZEMAN gear in triathlons, cycling, and running events to raise money for the Blazeman Foundation for ALS which supports ALS research.
• BLAZEMAN WARRIORS remind others that failure is not an option and never give up..."so others may live."
• BLAZEMAN WARRIORS “log roll” across finish lines in support of the War on ALS.
• A BLAZEMAN WARRIOR'S battle cry to other Warriors is, "GO WARRIOR!" or "FREEDOM!!"
• BLAZEMAN WARRIORS keep the spirit of the BLAZEMAN alive by continuing what he started.
• WE ENCOURAGE ONLINE DONATIONS AND PLEDGING! However, checks written to Blazeman Foundation for ALS maybe be sent to: Blazeman Foundation for ALS. 18 Maple Avenue PMB #121 Barrington, RI 02806. Please do not mail cash!
