Louie Bonpua (1964-2002)
“The Ironman is truly an event that makes you realize what you are made of inside. I was out there for 17 hours and I couldn’t help but think what my purpose and place is in this world. When I was first diagnosed with cancer, I didn’t see anything positive coming out of it at all. Now, it is clear to me why God put me on Earth, and that is to make a positive difference in other people’s lives. For that, I MUST FINISH THIS RACE!”

You’re such a brave man with a positive attitude. It was you who gave us courage to survive (my sister, your Aunt Litlit, also died of cancer same as your grandma) and let people know that it’s not yet the end of the world… move on, talk deeply with God and leave a good if not the best, legacy on earth. I am very proud of you, Louie. I know you are now resting in peace in the Lord’s hands.
