Last year I did my first sprint triathlon at the ITU age group open race in Chicago just to see if I could do it.  This year I'll be doing the ITU age group open race again, but for a different reason! The athletes I've had the pleasure of working with at Dare2Tri are are so inspiring that this year I am going to race to give back to them. Help me Race2Raise! Thanks :)

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.
