Interpreter Wanted Visually Impaired & Deaf Triathlete at Texas Iron Man Competition – Houston<\/strong><\/p>\n

On May 17, 2014, Andy Granada, a visually impaired and deaf triathlete, will\u00a0compete in the Texas Iron Man Competition in The Woodlands, Texas. Andy is from\u00a0California and will be traveling to Texas for the Iron Man event.<\/p>\n

Andy is trying to become the first deaf and blind male athlete to finish an\u00a0Ironman.<\/p>\n

The Ironman event includes: swimming, biking and running.\u00a0My son Jarrett Hubert will host Andy and be his guide during the competition.<\/p>\n

Although the Ironman Organization is providing assistance to Andy, there is an\u00a0unanswered need for sign interpreters. We are looking for skilled volunteers\u00a0to help Andy. The need is for at least two sign language interpreters who can\u00a0assist Andy during the race weekend.<\/p>\n

Andy is a very interesting athlete. Check out his YouTube video:<\/p>\n

We very much appreciate the information, reference or other support that you\u00a0provide.<\/p>\n
