Nyc Triathlon,I am hoping to put together a team of 20 or so people to participate in the NYC Triathlon on July 10, 2010. It’s a pretty cool event, it’s not as difficult as, say, a marathon (or so I’ve heard), plus it will be a perfect tribute to my cycling-loving husband Paul’s memory and help raise money for people living with amyloidosis.
Registration for charity teams is happening in mid-October so, at this point, I’m looking to quickly gage sincere interest from folks to determine if pulling together a team is feasible. Then, by mid-October I’ll need to collect race registration fees from those who can definitely commit. After that, I’ll work on organizing some team training sessions, maybe set up a team blog, etc. Some details…
THE RACE:
Here’s some information from the NYC triathalon website:
FAQs
A Description of the Course
THE COST:
Registration is $245 per person.
FUNDRAISING:
I’m hoping to set a team fundraising goal once I know how many people are actually able to commit to the team.
THE CHARITY:
I’ve been in communication with some non-profit leaders in the amyloidosis community and want to do my best to put the team’s funds toward some unmet needs of people living with amyloidosis. I”m not sure of the details yet but will certainly flesh them out soon.
So, please get back to me by Wednesday, September 30 via Facebook or at amy_hawthorne@yahoo.com and let me know if you are:
A) Definitely Interested
B) Possibly Interested
C) Can’t Do It at This Point but Would Like to Donate or Help Out in Some Way
Thanks in advance for considering this.
