Janus Charity Challenge

Last year, with the generous support of family and friends, we were able to raise over $7500 for Make a Wish of Kansas as part of my participation in Ironman Wisconsin. Through those efforts, a young man from Derby, KS is going to have a dream of his fulfilled.

This year, I am racing at Ironman Florida in November. I have two very ambitious goals: finish the race in less than 12 hours and raise $15,000 for StepStone in Wichita, KS. StepStone is an organization that provides support and transitional housing to women and children who are victims of domestic abuse. This money will go a LONG way towards helping these victims get back on their feet and live a safe and normal life once again. My training is at full speed so it is time to begin raising money as well.

With that in mind, I am asking you to do two things:

1. Take a moment to click on the link below to learn a bit more about the charity and why I am doing this. If you think this a good cause and are in a position to make a donation that would be wonderful. You can make online donations or you can mail me a check. Either way is fine.

2. Help me spread the word. There more people we can share this with the better. If you have family, friends or co-workers who may be interested in supporting this cause, please forward this email on to them. If you think your place of work might be interesting in donating as well, please let me know and I will be happy to contact them directly.

Every little bit helps. Thanks in advance for your support.
