Last year, I had the privilege of competing at the Florida 70.3 half-Ironman distance triathlon and crossing the finish line with my Operation Rebound teammate, MAJ Dave Rozelle. With your help, our team raised nearly $200,000 to support injured soldiers in their return to an active lifestyle. As the wife of a retired servicemember, I continue to be touched by this program's ability to provide encouragement and equipment to our injured servicemen and women.

This year, I have challenged myself to complete the "Triple Crown" in support of our injured soldiers and challenged athletes- my teammates. In the next few months, I will compete in 3 local events totaling nearly 130 miles. I am returning to compete at Ironman Florida 70.3, as well as racing in St. Anthony's Olympic Distance Triathlon, and each of Tampa's Gasparilla races (1/2 marathon, 15k, and 5k).

Operation Rebound is a wonderful CAF (Challenged Athletes Foundation) program that provides post-rehabilitation support and mentoring to American soldiers and veterans whose service to their country in Iraq and Afghanistan resulted in permanent physical injuries. Operation Rebound provides the next step in their recovery once they master "the basics" needed to return to an active lifestyle.

CAF raises money to help people with physical disabilities pursue an active lifestyle through physical fitness and athletics. CAF’s mission is clear: give those with the desire to live active, competitive lifestyles every opportunity to compete in the sports they love.

By making a donation towards my fundraising goal you will directly help a U.S. servicemember and challenged athlete in need.

Thank you for your generosity and support!
