***5-18-07 Update:  The triathlon is now just a day and a half away!  We are overwhelmed, honored, humbled, indebted, and so grateful for the support we've received. This is amazing. So...thank you all, from the bottoms of our hearts!!!***

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page!  Melissa and Kelly decided to do this triathlon (1500m swim, 40k bike, 10k run) a few months ago, both to challenge ourselves and to celebrate a new era in our lives... (and Mel's 30th!).  Since we are both active and passionate about giving back in whatever way we can, we decided that this triathlon is also a perfect opportunity to raise money for a great cause!

For those of you who aren't familiar with Women for Women... see side bar for more info!

$27 sponsors a woman in need for one month.  What does $27 mean to us?  6 venti iced lattes at Starbucks?  A half a tank of gas?  :)  Please consider a donation to help a woman rebuild her life!   *NOTE - donation can be any amount, whatever you can give is WONDERFUL and so appreciated!

Our goal is to raise enough money to sponsor six women for one year.  ($27 a month x 1 year x 6 women = $1944)  $1944 seems like a reasonable goal for a short amount of time.  Unlike me (Kelly) finishing my triathlon with not a lot of training... Ha ha ha... But that's why we need YOU!  By supporting our cause, you will help us keep going when the going gets tough!

The sky is the limit here! The more we raise, the more women we can sponsor in war-torn countries around the globe.  This isn't about politics, this is about making a difference for women who truly need and appreciate our help.  Just ask Melissa about her trip to Rwanda last year.  :)

Please see http://www.womenforwomen.org/ for more info! 

Donating online is quick, secure, and simple.  We really appreciate your help!  THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!

Love,
Kelly & Melissa
