Gabrielle's Ironman Fundraising Page
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
On November 21, 2010 in Tempe, Arizona I participated in undoubtedly the biggest challenge of my life, the Ironman Triathlon (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, 26.2 mile run).
I have wanted to do this event since 2002, and I'm glad to say I checked it off my list. I was only able to take on this goal because of one simple thing. I found a big enough Reason2Race, to have my team raise $100,000 for Cherish Our Children International. [Watch the COCI Video here ]
I am proud to report that Team COCI (www.Reason2Race.org) reached its goal. We raised $100,000 in 2010! 2011 - here we come!!
Since visiting the Africa, Israel and Houston programs COCI supports, I have been on a personal mission to help as many children as I can. I guess you could say my perspective on helping others has forever changed.
I know my efforts can and will make a difference with many children, like Devon from Houston. Through participation in our No More Victim's program, he has beaten the odds and graduated high school and college instead of ending up in prison like his parents. See a video about Devon by clicking here.
I know I can help children like Ido and Mohammed from Israel who despite years of conflict amongst their communities they have become the best of friends through our Bridge to Peace program and now look forward to their weekly educational sessions and soccer games.
If you would like to support our cause, one way you can do so is by making a contribution of any amount: $25, $50, $100 or other. If you would like to support us in some other way, just ask me how you too can be a part of giving children opportunities they deserve. THANK YOU for your support, and thank you for cherishing our children!
Gabrielle
PS: If you too want these children to be your Reason2Race, just ask me how you can join Team COCI. The experience will change your life!
