Sigh, I am doing a triathlon, but for a good cause...
So, not 100% sure if this is in the right place or not. If its not sorry, feel free to move it.
Short story, Challenged Athletes Foundation is a great crew that helps me as well as hundreds of others athletes every year. I am trying to do my part by racing the San Diego Triathlon Challenge this year on a rely team. I'll be doing as you would guess, the bike portion. I am trying to get everyone I can to help me raising money, I know its a rough time to ask for money, but anything really does help. I have a site set up to donate on, if you want to mail in a check or anything like that, shoot me an email and I can help with that part.
For those of you that might be wondering why I work with CAF. 6 years ago I was in a car accident with Travis Pastrana that left me paralyzed and told I would never walk again. Well after sometime in a wheelchair and a ton of hard work I was walking again. A long road that took me from riding a spin bike to racing an Ironman on a joke I was down the road of becoming a road racer. Now I am pretending to be a full time cyclist and racing my butt off all year long.
