Bob Mummey's Run for Life
Help Bob Mummey in his Run for Life benefiting the World Children's Transplant Fund. Your donations provide the opportunity for life-saving organ transplants to children of the world. Please Donate Today!
My goal is to help raise money to support the World Children's
Transplant Fund. I have decided the best way to shed light on this
organization is to train hard and to finish a half-ironman triathlon
and seek the support of people like you.
My name is Bob Mummey and I plan on completing a 70.3 mile race
as part of my 70th birthday celebration this coming October. I became
involved with WCTF in part, from my own experience with the organ
donation process. I am an uncle of an organ donor and I have worked
with organizations that deal with organ donation. I am also a member
of the WCTF Board of Director as well as Fundacion Mundial de
Trasplantes Capitulo in Guadalajara Mexico.
The goals of WCTF are to teach transplant surgeons, in their
countries, the special techniques of organ transplantation for
children, to provide specialized equipment to perform these surgeries,
to establish self-sustaining organizations, to provide accurate
information about organ donation and to provide support for donor
families. The man in the photo at right is Dr. Frederico Sanchez. He
is the president of the WCTF in Mexico and has performed leading edge
operations to save the lives of many children. We want to help him and
others like him to share their life saving skills and knowledge.
I've had my
own medical challenges. Five years ago I lost my left kidney to a
malignant tumor and the remaining kidney is stage-three diseased. It
works at half capacity. Three years ago I had a very rare malignant
tumor on my right eye. I underwent two months of chemotherapy and both
conditions are stable today. It has been a difficult road for me to
get here but I am constantly inspired by all of the support I have had
from those around me.
On Sunday October 20, 2013 I will be racing in the Soma
Triathlon in Tempe, Arizona. This grueling event consists of a 1.25
mile swim, followed by a 56 mile bike ride and ends with a 13.1 mile
half marathon run. With the help of my doctors, trainers, family and
friends I am approaching this event with excitement, fear and determination.
I write this because I am grateful beyond words for the
opportunities given to me. I hope you are inspired to help the
children. Please celebrate with me by giving your support to children
through the WCTF. Just give what you can. You can donate
specifically to this event by clicking the button at the top of this
page. Thank you for your support to me, to the WCTF and to
the children of our world.
