Greetings! My name is Christie. I recently competed in my first Ironman 140.6 event in Whistler, BC. It was a stunning venue and an incredible experience. Unfortunately, my day ended early after missing the final bike cutoff time. Believing that it's not the failures in our life that define us, but the decision to get back up, I decided to dust myself off and make another run at it. I chose Ironman Arizona in November of 2019. Not only is becoming an Ironman a life long dream but I desire to give and serve others. So, I found a way that I can do both...here's where I need your help.
While at the Whistler event, I learned of the Ironman Foundation (IMF). The IMF is an organization that raises money to be used in the communities where Ironman events are held...as a generous act of giving back. Having witnessed this first hand, it takes the entire community to host an event of this magnitude. The IMF funds projects for schools, non-profits, neighborhoods, families in need, municipalities and other organizations in these communities. Here is more info on the IMF if you're interested: http://ironmanfoundation.org/team-imf/
Ironman Arizona was a sold out event with the exception of IMF entries. I committed to raising $1400 for the IMF. By pledging this amount I get to participate in the event and raise money for an awesome organization. I just love the thought of becoming an Ironman while serving!
My ask is simple...would you please consider 1 (or more) of the following:
1: Partner with me in raising funds through your donations. Large or small...every bit helps. Donations are anonymous.
2: Pray for the community, athletes, volunteers and the IMF, that God would be glorified and He would be seen throughout this event.
3: Share this fundraising opportunity with others via social media or other ways.
4: Follow along with me and send me cheers and encouragement on November 24th, 2019
Thank you so much for your consideration, support and encouragement. I can't wait to cross that finish line!
