I’m excited to share that I joined Dare2tri's Race2Raise team this triathlon season.  On August 26th, I'll be completing the sprint course in support of Dare2tri.  I was inspired by this organization when first encountered at Leon's triathlon in 2014.  Dare2tri is a nonprofit that positively impacts the lives of people with physical disabilities and visual impairments by helping them get active through the sport of triathlon. They provide programs that help kids, adults, and injured military with physical disabilities learn how to swim, bike, and run.  The photo I have here is me getting back to triathlon in 2017 after rehab from a couple of surgeries.  It was at Leon's triathlon; I made a personal commitment that if I was able to do any triathlon in 2018 that it would be for Race2Raise in an effort to raise funds for needed adaptive equipment and other training expenses.  On the back of Dare2tri shirts, you'll find the statement, "One Inspires Many."  Please consider being a part of helping this organization and the athletes continue their work with a donation.  Thank you for taking the time to read this.  Blessings to you!

Dare2tri transforms the lives of people with physical disabilities and visual impairments by helping them be active through the sport of triathlon. It’s more than just the swim, bike, and run—Dare2tri is a community of people that believe ability is limitless when you set your mind to something. Dare2tri builds confidence and self-worth, and makes physical activity a way of life for people of all abilities.

Dare2tri is proud to partner with the Transamerica Chicago Triathlon to build a fundraising team. All funds raised by the Dare2tri Race2Raise Team will provide equipment, training, and programs that give people with physical disabilities and visual impairments the opportunity to lead active, healthy lifestyles.
