Austin’s Quest
My second post was all about my nephew, Austin, and his quest to participate in a triathlon. He has been working so hard. You can follow his training by going to his blog site. Austin has been diligent in his training and he is surpassing his goals already. His first triathlon is the Kiwanis Kids Triathlon and it will take place this Saturday, 8 August. There is still time to donate to help him in his training and his upcoming travels to the IronKids Triathlon. Remember, in donating to his cause you will also be donating to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. He is sending 10% of the donations received to JDRF.
What you might not know is that my loving Dad posted a comment to both his site and to my second post issuing a challenge. In case you missed it, here is his last comment on Austin’s site (”Honey is my Mom – Austin’s Grandmother):
Great update. Send me an email and let me know how much has been donated by Honey’s Bunco group and anyone donating because they saw my challenge on Aunt Christin’s web site. I’ll make good on my promise to match those donations dollar-for-dollar up to a maximum of $250. And anyone else following this…the match is still good if you go to www.type1tootsie.com, leave a comment there that you are donating to Austin, and then DO IT!!!
How can a girl go wrong when she has so much family support? Strength gained from so much love is so empowering. Thanks, Dad! Go Austin! I love you both.
