Dear Friends,
I recently decided to take the plunge and do my 2nd EVER triathlon, the 1st I ever did was 14 years ago!!!! I am participating in the LifeTime Chicago Triathlon on August 27th, 2017 and I am raising money to support the amazing work of Save the Children!
I did my first Triathlon in support of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and I am really excited to do my second Triathlon in support of Save the Children. It is definitely a charity near and dear to my heart, as I now have 3 children of my own. Most of the big races I have done in the past I have raised money for a charity or family-so this one is no different.
My Goal: Swim 0.92 miles, bike 24.8 miles, run 6.2 miles and raise at least $500. Training and fundraising for this event is a huge challenge, but I have always been more motivated when preparing for a race when I know that I am doing it for a great cause. Millions of children around the world face chronic malnutrition, die from preventable illnesses, or are vulnerable to exploitation, violence or neglect. Save the Children saves countless lives by providing food assistance, medical care, education & disaster relief assistance. And nearly 90% of expenses go to programs. Save the Children helps children not only in the US but also in 119 other countries. Just recently they helped in Flint, Michigan with a lead poisoning crisis where they helped programs for children to get healthy food and clean water, this is just ONE example of their important work.
Please help me reach my goal by contributing whatever you feel compelled to and SHARE my page with as many others as you can so they too can have an opportunity to make a difference. Thanks so much for your support!
