Family support from the small and mighty…..
Okay, so my nephew, 9 year old Austin, isn’t so small anymore but he is mighty! He is an extremely active and athletic young man, and recently decided to train and participate in a triathlon. With training and participation come expenses. He is asking for donations to help him
achieve his goals. His first goal is the Kiwanis Kids Triathlon in Houston, TX on August 8, 2009 and then he’ll be on to Alpharetta, GA for the Ironkids Triathlon on September 13, 2009.
Here is the sweet kicker!!!
Austin will be giving 10% of the donations he receives to a charity….he chose the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
My nephew has taken it upon himself to pound the pavement, pedal forward, and paddle through the waters for me and tons of others he has never met. What a kid! What motivation!! Please log on to Austin’s site to donate to a very worthy cause, keep up with his training progress, and drop a note of support.
Thanks, Austin, you are an inspiration to me!!
Christin, you are a champion! I regret I didn’t see this sooner. I saw the “Low” post but missed this one.
Here’s my challenge!!!
I’ve offered to match, dollar for dollar, pledges tp Austin’s Triathon Quest made by my wife’s (Austin’s “Honey”) Bunco group up to a total of $250. I’ll extend the match to include pledges to Austin’s Triathlon Quest in response to this website. To get me to match, be sure you let Austin know by posting a comment to his site that you are pledging because you are responding to Type1Tootie’s request for a donation.
