Love his focus and determination!
He will reach his goals - may God bless him as he takes his experiences forward, stronger, more determined, confident & able to reach beyond what others say are limits!!

Chris Nikic started with a single push-up in 2017. That was the whole program. One percent better than yesterday, every day, and never mind by how much.

On November 7, 2020 at Ironman Florida in Panama City Beach he swam 2.4 miles, rode 112 and ran a marathon, and crossed the line in 16 hours 46 minutes. The cutoff is 17 hours. He made it by fourteen minutes, and became the first person with Down syndrome to complete an Ironman.

He went back and cut it to 16:31 at the world championship in Kona in 2022. On March 3, 2024, at the Tokyo Marathon, he collected his sixth star and became the first person with Down syndrome to finish all six World Marathon Majors.

Ask him what the goal is now and he does not say a race. He says he wants to get married, run his own business, and take care of his family.

She really has a passion for healthy & good quality food. Should be a Great experience!

Something special is happening around the table this September. 🤎

Our very own Founder & Executive Director, Lashawndra Robinson, will be the Guest Chef for The Wisdom of Food Farm-to-Table Dining Experience at Scott Family Farm.

And this dinner is especially meaningful to us.

A portion of the proceeds from the evening will benefit Black Farm Street Inc and support the work we continue to do through agriculture, education, food access, and community.

Before there was Black Farm Street, there was a chef.

Then came the farm.

What began as a journey into agriculture grew into a mission to cultivate food systems that empower, educate, and strengthen communities. Now, those worlds are meeting at the table.

Guests will enjoy a seasonal four-course farm-to-table dining experience prepared by Chef Lashawndra “Chef Shawn” Robinson, a wellness conversation with Dr. Priya Deshpande, and live music by Garden City Jazz, Augusta Ga.

And it just so happens that we’ll be celebrating our Executive Director’s 40th birthday with purpose along the way. 🥳

We would love to see our Black Farm Street family, partners, supporters, farmers, volunteers, and community at the table.

Come enjoy an evening rooted in good food, agriculture, wellness, community, and purpose.

Plant the Seed. Watch it Grow. 🌱

There are many many benefits to regular light to moderate exercise. It's just taking Medical science longer to find out those truths. 🙂
Start today: the person you are 5, 10, & 15 years from now will appreciate the choices you made today (to start a regular exercise program).

A University of Iowa team just measured what happens inside a human brain after 20 minutes of easy cycling, and the results back up what riders have said for years 👇
