In icLiverpool today, is a feature about the strength of sibling bonds and a triathlon they will compete in for cancer. In 2003, Daniel O'Dempsey, now 12, was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma. Daniel is planning on participating in UK's Sefton Triathlon, billed as the world's largest community triathlon, to benefit Macmillan Cancer Relief. But, because of the tubes in his body from chemotherapy treatments, he is prevented from the swimming part of the triathlon. To his rescue are his brother and sister triplets, Kieran and Kate, who will complete the swimming and running thirds of the event for Daniel.

The triplet siblings say they do not expect to win the triathlon, they just want to have fun raising money for cancer charity as a way to help others. Oh, I'd say these three are winners in more ways than can be counted, or trophy awards given. And, the three make us winners just by knowing about them. The inspiration of their individual and collective spirit illuminates this world into a little brighter place for all of us.
