(First - thanks to whoever fixed my last blog with that massive picture! I was relieved to see it trimmed down to normal size).
I am doing TNT this year to continue raising cancer research funds for Dana Farber. I did it last year and me and another racer raised over $13,000. I hope to do that on my own this year. I will use the PledgePage website to do it - which is a pretty good way for people to get involved in the effort - above and beyond their financial contribution.
I am so impressed by the fight that is in the people who struggle with cancer and other diseases. I have a friend who struggles day to day - and he is just so strong in spirit and in will. The alliance between triathlon and those battling lifelong diseases is very apt - as we fight hard, dedicate and discipline ourselves and never quit...but we do it for fun. They do it for life, and so it is right that we apply some results of our efforts to help them with theirs.
I want to get started with this year's campaign right after I finish my Ironman at Coeur d' Alene in June (June 21...approaching fast!). My pledgpage is www.jayracinforcancer.pledgepage.org
Anybody have any ideas on how to increase awareness of this - and all the other fundraising opportunities associated with TNT and triathlon in general?
Also - anybody know of any good triathlon bloggers we could link to this TNT blog? I know www.swimbikerunblog.com - that is the only one I know of.
