Tri For Life
As many of you know I recently became a member of a pretty fantastic team. We tri….we don’t just tri for the competition, we don’t just tri for the camaraderie. We tri because as a team we are coming together to further a beautiful and amazing cause. We tri for a purpose. We tri because 6 years ago a family lost their son and brother, and six years ago those brave family members made a decision to not allow Chase’s legacy to end there. The Coleman family donated Chase’s organs and as a result lives were saved. Though extremely tragic, unspeakable, surely an experience that words cannot accurately explain a single family saved many more. So we tri….we tri to honor Chase, to bring awareness, to offer opportunities. I am proud to be part of a team that believes in something bigger. We are more then just athletes trying to win a race or break a personal record when we are out there. We are a team, a very close team of individuals believing that collectively, we can and will make a difference.

85% of the population supports organ donation, including strong support from health care professionals and virtually all organized religions, though less than 30% have actually signed a donor card or discussed the issue with their families.
