Hello! My name is Kaleb Kaschalk and I am competing in an Ironman Triathlon in Nice, France on June 22, 2008!

2.4 mile swim

112 mile bike

26.2 mile run

I am competing in an Ironman to raise awareness for cancer research and money for the V Foundation. My late grandfather Frank Kaschalk died from cancer in April, 2006. He worked in a steel mill his whole life so my two sisters and I could afford private schooling and college. Through his hard work, dedication, and love, I was able to attend St.Marys grade school in Berea, St.Edward High School, and I am currently a freshman at Youngstown State University majoring in criminal justice. My dream is to become a Cleveland Police Officer and help the community like my grandfather helped me and my sisters. 

Quick Cancer Facts:

-Cancer kills about one American per minute

-1 out of 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime

-1 out of 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime

-3 out of 4 American families will have a family member diagnosed with cancer

-Behind accidents, cancer is the leading killer of children

I am raising money with the painful understanding that I cannot bring back my grandpa, but with the amazing hope that this money will help find a cure, help someone you love, or even save your own life. Donate in memory of a loved one who lost their battle with cancer, donate for a person currently battling cancer, or just donate becuase you care.

Why the V Foundation for Cancer Research?

"We need your help. I need you help. We need money for research. It may not save my life. It may save my children's lives. It may save someone you love."

-Jimmy Valvano
