It is with great sadness that I wanted to report that my best friend Amanda's mom, Carol Feltman, passed away on Saturday after a 20 year battle with cancer. My thoughts and prayers are with Amanda and her family.
In happier news, I was notified by the Janus Charity Challenge today that the amount of money I raised in the Charity Challenge qualified me to receive an additional $750.00 from Janus for the American Cancer Society. Yippee! Thanks again for all of your donations!!
37 Ironman Louisville athletes participating in the Janus Charity Challenge raised over $321,000 for our charities. Unfortunately, I was not able to surpass Michael Pluimer a 37 year old engineer from Raymond, MN who raised $71,824.25 for Justice For All and an additional $30,008 for the Christian Reformed World Relief Committee. He received an additional $10,000 for his charities from Janus and a free entry into another Ironman. Seriously guy?! I'm very impressed. I never knew that engineers had friends. But for the record, I beat him by nearly 2 hours.
I know you are all, ahem, anxiously awaiting my race report -- I assure you that it is forthcoming.
