About World Vision
Through Team World Vision, you can pursue an athletic or recreational goal while raising funds to help children in desperate situations. When you join Team World Vision, lives are changed - and there is hope for a brighter future for children.
World Vision is a Christian relief and development organization dedicated to helping children and their communities worldwide reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty. We serve the world's poor-regardless of a person's religion, race, ethnicity, or gender.
I have joined up with World Vision, a nonprofit charitable organization www.worldvision.org, to support those in need in Africa. We have identified a community in Africa that I want to support by sponsoring children to feed them and give them the education they need to live. Also, I’d like to try and provide for the community by helping build schools, water wells, supply livestock etc so they can have a future and educate their children to support themselves. I am donating a portion of my prize money that I make at every race this year. I was able to give $500 for Ironman Malaysia and $1,000 for winning Ironman Japan. My goal is to raise $25k this year through my races and through those who want to give through my website. In the spring of 2007 we will have a trip to that community in Africa for a week to see the changes that we have made and to help out during that week to help build a community. Anyone that would like to give please do so through the links above. Those who give are also invited to join us on our trip to Africa. Thank you for your consideration and support.
