I didn’t know it, but I was lucky. I had loving parents to nurture and support me.  I grew up with dreams that I followed, and I have had the opportunity to make at least some of them come true.  

There are millions of children around the world who have not been as fortunate. Poverty, war and disease have robbed them of the ability to reach their full potential – and in many cases reach their first birthday.

Through my friends at NikiFit I was introduced to people who are trying to make a difference in children’s lives, by volunteering time and resources to Cherish Our Children International (COCI).  COCI is a non-profit international organization, dedicated to helping children in need.

I was inspired by the energy and dedication that COCI volunteers have displayed, and I want to join them in their mission. I am going to run in my first Sprint Triathlon, the Lone Star Sprint Triathlon, on April 24, 2010 and I am asking my friends to help. Please take a moment to donate to COCI.  COCI is a fully qualified 501c(3) non-profit organization, and your donation is fully tax deductible. I know that if I have a ”Reason to Run” I can complete my training and the Sprint Tri

Thank you!
