You are capable of more than you believe.
I explore my limitations through endurance sports both physically and mentally. Participating in ultra events is about more than just competition.
In 2010, I will be completing Ultraman Canada and Ultraman Hawaii. The Ultraman is a 3-day, 318.6 mile, individual ultra-endurance event - swim 6.2 miles, bike 261.4 miles, and run 52.4 miles. In the past 17 years, only 12 athletes have completed both of these events in the same year. I will be the 15th. What sets Ultraman apart from other events are the traditional Hawaiian values of aloha (love), ohana (family) and kokua (help). In the spirit of these same philosophies, Endure to Cure is an organization that impacts lives by creating tangible differences for children and their families. These differences can last a lifetime.
As an athlete on Team Endure to Cure we are collectively raising $50,000 to fund a 2011 pediatric cancer survivorship study at the University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital. This study will research methods of reducing the long-term effects of the harsh treatments on these young patients. 60% of these children will suffer life long side effects. Often these side effects are severe, even after they have been deemed cancer "survivors."
Thank you for considering donating to this cause. Your donation will not only help us reach our goal, but will support the many children suffering from pediatric cancer on their life long journey to explore their limitations and achieve great things.
