FEARLESS is climbing back in that race car even though it landed you in the hospital for the night just the week before. FEARLESS is knowing that what you love to do could kill you but doing it anyway.
FEARLESS is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again...even though every time you've tried before you've lost. It's FEARLESS to have faith that someday things will change.
FEARLESS is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you can't breathe without them. I think it's FEARLESS to admit that you aren't as great as the world thinks you are. I think it's FEARLESS to want more than anything to believe them. It's FEARLESS to say "Show me why you think so" and listen while they tell you.
I think loving someone despite what people think is FEARLESS. I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is FEARLESS. Letting go is FEARLESS. Then, moving on and being alright...That's FEARLESS too. No matter what life throws at you, you have to believe that someone believes in you. Taking risks, not just at 200 mph but on yourself...that defines FEARLESS to me.
Deciding it's time to stop putting yourself down and minimizing just how awesome you are at what you do is FEARLESS. Looking at your teammate and his "devil may care" attitude and taking that same philosophy and adapting it to your life is the epitomy of FEARLESS.
I have decided that to me a hero is someone who is truly FEARLESS. A man who admits he may screw this thing up at any minute and he's terrified you'll walk out on him is genuinely FEARLESS. Faking it until you believe it yourself....that's FEARLESS too.
43 guys in their firesuits and helmets take a race track every week to live their dream. They live life in moments that take their breath away. They stare death in the eye and laugh at it. But only one is the definition of FEARLESS. Can you guess who?

Wow. That is a great way to define fearless. To me... Denny is fearless. Not in the way of having no fears, but like you said it. Fearless.
I just saw the response from Denny about the foundation event. Thanks for asking Becca and thanks to Denny for responding. Richmond's going to be fun that weekend!
