- Welcome
Beyond the Finish Line: An IRONMAN for DeafBlind Awareness On Sept. 27, 2026, Taka Elkins conquered IRONMAN Chattanooga on behalf of NFADB! What an incredible feat he accomplished! But for him, this was always about more than the finish line. As the father of a child who is DeafBlind, Taka dedicated every mile to raising awareness and supporting DeafBlind families across the country. Watch Taka’s inspiring video message at right. The fundraising goal? $32,000 in honor of NFADB’s 32 years of supporting families through connection, resources, advocacy, and hope. Taka has reached 80% of the goal, and we're not stopping at the IRONMAN finish line! We’ll continue fundraising through the end of 2026, NFADB’s 32nd year, to get all the way there! Every mile. Every family. Every dollar moves the mission forward. |
