| TRI-ing to Cure Multiple Myeloma: |
|
|
|
|
|
| One sister, one brother, and a million training miles between them.
In November, 2011, again in May, 2012, and finally in August, 2012, Kendra Goffredo, and her brother-in-law, David Robles, will each attempt the greatest challenge of their lives: finishing three full-length Ironman Triathlons.*
In doing so, they honor Poppy Tony (father and father-in-law, respectively) who is facing his life's fiercest battle--defeating multiple myeloma, a bone cancer without a cure.
Although progress has been made in treating multiple myeloma, the five-year average survival rate remains one of the lowest of all cancers. It is also one that Poppy Tony has well outlived.
Inspired by his ability to outperform all odds, we too will cover distances we never thought possible...three times.
Join Poppy Tony's fight! Your donation will benefit the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation, a fantastic organization that supports the development of Poppy Tony's most successful treatments.
One brother. One sister. And 843.6 miles for Poppy Tony!
(*For those of you doing the math, a full Ironman competition spans 2.4 miles of open water swimming, 112 miles of road biking, and 26.2 miles of running, or 140.6 total miles. Kendra and David will do that first in Arizona, next in Utah, and for a third time in New York/New Jersey.) |
