The great thing in life is not
so much where we stand,
but in what direction
we are moving.
 -Goethe


Once you make a decision,
the universe conspires to
make it happen.

Activities & Events
 
There is a wide range of events that happen year round to raise money for life-threatening diseases.
 
While many of these events are races, most of us participate to finish the event, not compete. Or we compete against ourselves, just trying to run a little faster, bike a little faster, walk a little further, tri a little harder each time.
 
Whatever your interest, there is nothing quite like crossing the finish line!
