Welcome
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page for the Triathlon of Compassion. The tri supports the Victoria Women's Sexual Assault Centre, which I've donated to for several years. The centre is underfunded by the provincial government, so support from the public is needed to keep programs for victims of sexual assault running. The centre offers counselling, victim services, preventative and advocacy programs and a crisis line.
This year, I'm asking you to show your support by sponsoring me as I participate in my very first triathlon. I'll be swimming 500m, cycling 19km and wrapping it up with a 5km run. In the past few years I've taken up running and participated in 8 and 10k races, something I never thought I'd be able to achieve. I'm hoping the tri will rekindle my love of swimming and help me get over my fear of cycling up hills! It's for a good cause, and any donation, big or small, is much appreciated.
