Have you ever wanted to train with one of the world's best triathlete's? Thanks to 2003 US National Ironman Champion, Chris Lieto, and CoachArt this dream can be a reality! Chris has generously donated two months of VIP training to be auctioned off at the Inaugural "Art for the Heart Gala" to benefit CoachArt, a non-profit that serves nearly 1,000 young people in Los Angeles and is dedicated to providing free lessons in the arts and athletics to underprivileged children with life threatening diseases. The event will be held at Christie's in Los Angeles on November 4, 2004 with Lake Bell, Jason Ritter and Marsha Thomason presiding over a live auction of heart shaped platters, donated by Color Me Mine, and painted by nearly fifty athletes, artists and entertainers who have, in addition to creating these distinctive pieces of art, also donated personal memorabilia (or in this case, the opportunity of a lifetime) to help CoachArt raise money to further their cause. In addition to to the live auction on November 4, there will be an online auction for many of the items to enable those who are unable to attend the event to bid on these unique and one of a kind items. Chris's package will be one of the items available online to ensure that triathletes around the world and his personal fans can truly benefit from his incredibly kind donation.
