Hi, my name is Eric Robb, and welcome to my fundraising page. 

I will be competing in the 2015 Transamerica Chicago Triathlon (8/30/2015) as  a member of the Dare2Tri Paratriathlon Race2Raise Team, raising funds and awareness for  the Dare2Tri Paratriathlon club. I began volunteering with Dare2Tri in December of 2014 and have had the privilege of working with an incredibly talented group of athletes. Dare2tri's programs work with individuals with a diverse array of skill levels, from beginner racers to world-class paratriathletes, and seek to meet the need of triathletes with a wide variety of disabilities. 

Dare2Tri athletes have and continue to excel at a variety of levels, including at this year's Paratriathlon National Championship in Texas, where 7 different Dare2Tri members won national championships in their respective divisions.

Competing in triathlons incurs a wide variety of costs including entry fees, transportation, and equipment, and for adaptive athletes, expenses can also include racing wheelchairs, handcycles, tandem cycles for athletes with visual impairments, and various other equipment in order to meet each athlete's needs. Donations will go to help cover these expenses for Dare2Tri athletes.

During my time as a volunteer at Dare2Tri Practices, I have watched our athletes develop and hone their skills and I am proud to race on their behalf, and to support their ability to compete after putting in such incredible effort all year. You can learn more about the organization at dare2tri.org.

Thanks for your support!

Raising Funds and Awareness for Dare2tri - ONE SUPPORTS MANY

The Dare2tri Paratriathlon Club Race2Raise Team is comprised of athletes who want to make their race(s) more meaningful by supporting many! Athletes will raise funds and awareness for Dare2tri by competing in various triathlons or endurance races throughout the season.

Funds will directly go toward Dare2tri athletes and programs. Many individuals with disabilities have expensive medical bills, and adaptive sports equipment is not covered by insurance.  Dare2tri believes that by remaining active, athletes build confidence, autonomy, and self-worth in both sports and in other areas of life. Dare2tri empowers athletes to believe they can do anything they set their mind to. 

About Dare2tri: Launched in 2011, the club works with athletes of all ability levels from beginner to elite. Dare2tri serves youth, adults, and injured service members who have a physical disability such as amputation, spinal cord injury, stroke, spina bifida, cerebral palsy, and those with visual impairments and blindness. Dare2tri is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
