Miracles of Mitch 2013

Last summer Noah decided that he was interested in participating in his first triathlon. He has been an amazing fan through the years cheering mom and dad on in our various events and thought it was time he try one out for himself. He zeroed in on the Miracles of Mitch.  He has a tender heart for those in need and wanted to participate in something that would help another out. He set his fundraising goal at $1000. Pretty amazing sum for a 7 year old boy. He drafted and mailed letters, made phone calls, and began the process to raise money for a boy named Michael. To get things started he put in 6 months worth of his own allowance to donate for the cause. 

After a couple months of training and praying for Michael the night before the big day came. It was minutes before midnight and the total fundraising amount flipped over the $1000 mark (he ended up raising over $1100). The focus of the day was not on who came in first or what the participates time was. The focus of the day was the fundraising and the impact that it makes on the many families that need support.  

 

 

He is planning to participate again this summer and is counting the days. His goal is double last years. The excitement in giving is contagious. I will try to post a link to his fundraising page closer to summer if anyone is interested in donating to this amazing cause where hearts are changed and lives are positively impacted.
