Motivation.  Endurance.  Dedication.  Strength.  These core characteristics make up the foundation of the twelve business leaders from Minneapolis area who have teamed up together to take on the 2008 Life Time Fitness Triathalon on Saturday, July 12.  Beyond training and competing, these avid athletes and businessmen have taken on the challenge to support and fundraise for the nationally-recognized American Heart Association. 

"Powered by the Heart" is our team name as it represents the amount of heart needed to push ourselves the extra mile to reach success.  A healthy trained heart will carry us through the pain and get us to the finish line.  Our hardcore powerhouse of a team includes Jason Johnson, Ryan Heining, Todd Vucenich, Tony Miller, Joel Heining, Pat Crosby, Mark Savage, Eric Heining, Joanie Miskowiec, Mark Norquist and Jeff Beegle. 

Our adrenaline runs high when we hit the water or road, and we want to make every freestyle, cycle and step count; help us make health an attainable opportunity for every individual by supporting our fundraising efforts and pledging a donation today!

Six corporate sponsors have chosen to support our triathalon participation and advertise for our fundraising efforts.  Our sincere appreciation goes out to i:Space, M2 Advisors, MSpace, AVVID, Carol Health and MotivAction.

Your sponsorship will go directly to the American Heart Association.  Donating through this site is simple and totally secure.  It is also the most efficient way to support our fundraising efforts for the American Heart Association. 

Join us, if you like, on Saturday, July 12, 2008 to cheer us on at the 2008 Life Time Fitness Triathlon at Lake Nokomis in South Minneapolis.  It will be a premiere sporting event you won't want to miss and you can watch a few aspiring athletes cross the finish line!!
