Talk about getting more than you asked for. In my opinion, this past Saturday’s triathlon was the ultimate testament to the word “community.” With a crazy mix of just over 60 folks from all walks of life (including around 20 refugees from Burma, Bhutan, and Iraq), we battled on the hardwood (soccer, volleyball, and basketball) for fun, glory, and ultimately to raise money and awareness for education and sports enrichment for refugees youth (via World Relief Seattle and the UN’s ninemillion project). Here’s some super fun stats:
Heartbeats donated: 957,000!!!!
Dollars donated: $1,220!!!!
Soccer balls donated: 137!!!!

A sincere thanks to everyone that was able to participate, help out, or donate even if you couldn’t make it. Your support is truly, truly appreciated. For those that wanted to be there, don’t worry, there will be a “2nd Annual Super Fun Indoor Triathlon,” so get ready!
