I have just completed my first triathlon to raise funds for Kenya. I raised $3245.00 and had a great time training and finishing the tri. I had to learn to really swim well. I had taken lessons 4 years ago but this past winter I worked hard so that I could complete the 1000 meters at the North Bay Tri. I trained hard on my bike, but I am not so big and strong, but managed to do the 32 kilometers in a good time for me. I was so excited when I finished the bike ride that I knew I could complete the 8.2 km run so I ran walked it and was grinning from ear to ear when I finished.\
This whole fundraising experience would not have been possible without the help of several people: my training partner Brenda Lalonde, my swimming buddies Brenda Walsh and Cathy Rennie, the person who always makes you feel like you can conquer anything Viola Burke and my husband Gerry who supports everything that I do.
The money raised will go a long way in helping the children in Kenya.
