CASTLE ROCK, Colo. — It is a feat to compete in an Ironman 70.3, which includes swimming 1.2 miles, biking 56 miles and running 13.1 miles. Now, imagine attempting to accomplish that while battling stage 4 prostate cancer.
Sam Maccherola, who was given five years to live in 2019, is preparing to compete in the Ironman 70.3 in Boulder, Colorado on Saturday. While he runs, bikes and swims with his wife Tracy, he wants to raise money for both research and awareness.
