Miracles of Mitch 2014 - Two Brothers One Goal

Two brothers with one goal. Raise $2000 for Miracles of Mitch Foundation racing for kids that cannot race themselves.This was Noah's second year racing and Jacobs first. It was a big goal. The results were better in so many ways than we could have ever predicted.

 Goldy was there to cheer!

 Fans are ready!

Transition spot is ready. Racing for Cody this year.

Time to get pumped up for the swim. Jacob was very nervous about his first tri. Big brother Noah showed us again just how compassionate he is. Noah volunteered to hang back and race with Jacob the entire race. I love his heart for others and I love the fact the boys could do this together. What a team. Praise God!

Let the swim begin....

On to the bike!

They finished the tri and exceeded their goal. Total raised $2140. Thank you to the many generous donations and the hearts of boys that love others and want to help them.

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.
