YEEHAW!!! It's that time of the year again. Every year I support a charity in need. This year, I am dedicating my participation in the Ironman Triathlon in Lake Placid, NY to raise funds and awareness of domestic violence. I have selected Safe Journey, a transition program for survivors of domestic violence and their children. 100% of your donations will help survivors of violence start a new life free from abuse.

Consider these statistics...
-Every 9 seconds a woman is beaten in the USA.
-Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women.
-Children who grow up in violent homes have a 74% higher likelihood of committing criminal assaults.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to my fundraising efforts. Join me in helping domestic violence survivors. Just click the 'SPONSOR ME NOW>' link.  Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
