.ChrisNikic will be running the BostonMarathon on Oct. 11 and the TCSNYCMarathon next month.
. His father says that though it's a lofty goal for this year's marathon season, it might be attainable next year.
"We want kids to really look up to me," Nikic stated, adding,"not only do I do the work, but I do it for the kids." He eventually wants to open his own gym, where athletes, no matter the level, can come train. He aims to teach them his"1% system," to continue to"spread the word," and to inspire the"whole Down syndrome community behind the scenes."
Nik pointed out that as a result of Nikic's history-making Ironman competition, Nikic and his teammates from Special Olympics Florida's Unified triathlon team. They are the first team to receive an invitation to participate in those Games, and Nik noted that the group is made up of about 80 percent people with autism and about 20 percent people with Down syndrome.
Nik describes Nikic as someone who leads by example"and creates an opportunity for others to follow so they can achieve their potential." It's due to this example, Nik said, that his son"can inspire others like him, but it can also inspire others like me and you."
