Katie and I
have recently embarked on a year-long fundraising effort, which will culminate
with Ironman Wisconsin. The idea was hatched 8 months or so ago when
Katie and I were discussing her tackling her first Ironman. She
mentioned she wanted to raise money for the MS Society, and I told her
I'd join her effort.
Why the MS Society? Kaite's mother is battling MS. So is her cousin. My mother's best friend battled the disease for years.
We'll be doing several events and fundraisers over the next year to raise funds, as we've set a $15,000 goal. This isn't a Team in Training type deal...We paid our race entry fees. We are paying our travel fees. We are paying for our equipment. Your money goes directly to the Wisconsin Chapter of the MS Society ( where Katie's mother lives

You can read more about our individual mission on the donation page, so I won't continue to bore you.
If you have some extra cash and would like to support our efforts, We'd appreciate it.
One final note: To show my commitment to this effort, I've issued a challenge: If any single donation is $5000 or more, I will repeat the IMWI course on 9.10.12 (the day after IMWI).
