In 2011, Keri Serota, Dan Tun and myself co-founded Dare2tri. What started as a modest goal of getting 10 athletes with a physical disability to do a triathlon has turned into a thriving non profit that helps athletes at both the grassroots and elite level. Our motto is One Inspires Many and our athletes inspire everyone around them, both on and off the racecourse.

For the past 4 years I have been a proud member of the Dare2tri elite team and I love representing Dare2tri at races around the world. As an elite team member, Dare2tri covers uniform expenses, coaching, camps and assits with travel to races around the world. There is also a high performnce fund that we can apply to for any needed equpimpent or anything to help us with our triathlon needs.

As one of several elite team members, I am fortunate to have the support of Dare2tri as I work towards my dream of representing the USA at the 2016 Paralympics in Rio. Your generous tax deductable contribution will go towards helping athletes like myself see how far we can take the sport and help us to continue to inspire many.

Thank you!

The 2015 Dare2tri Elite Team Presented by Deloitte is comprised of 15 athletes who exemplify Dare2tri’s “One Inspires Many” spirit and are dedicated to reaching their full competitive potentials on national and international stages. In an effort to develop their skills and help them reach their individual goals, Dare2tri commits to providing high-level coaching and support, including: Elite Team Camp, uniforms, travel expenses, logistical support, and more.

The team returns nine paratriathlon national medalists, two national champions, two paratriathlon world champions, and a world champion silver medalist. To meet the 2015 team, visit the Elite Team page on our website. With paratriathlon experiencing its Paralympic debut in the 2016 Games, this season in particular is an exciting one as athletes are ramping up for the "Road to Rio" and vying for a spot on Team USA. 

New for Dare2tri is the 2015 Development Team, which is comprised of four athletes who are identified as talented and emerging paratriathletes. Dare2tri feels that by providing high-level coaching, mentoring, and support, we can develop these athletes’ skills and help them reach their personal goals.

As ambassadors of Dare2tri, each Elite and Development Team member commits to raising a minumim $500 and $250, respectively, to contribute to funding for team trips, uniforms, and more in pursuit of gold.
