We can promote inclusion for athletes with disabilities

On Sunday February 27th, I will be toeing the start line of the 2022 Publix Atlanta Marathon Weekend | Atlanta Track Club to run 13.1 miles pushing one of our great disabled athlete partners in support of the The Foundation — The Kyle Pease Foundation an organization near and dear to my heart. KPF provides individuals with disabilities the opportunity to participate in and enjoy endurance sports alongside able bodied competitors. The Foundation began in 2011 after my friend Kyle Pease, who lives with cerebral palsy and is quadriplegic, and his brother Brent completed their first triathlon together and realized the positive impact racing could have on children and adults in similar situations. Six years ago, I was asked to run with a friend on behalf of this organization and it impacted my life forever. I was HOOKED. My involvement has blossomed into a passion to bring more families impacted by disability into the fold. The most special part is seeing the smiles of our wheelchair athletes at finish lines and the confidence that unfolds over time knowing that they are included and ANYTHING is possible!

Your generosity can fund this powerful organization in many ways with over 88% of every dollar raised going directly to support the mission. Examples of the direct cost for a wheelchair assisted person to race include:

• 5K race: $75
• 10K race: $250
• Half Marathon: $500
• Racing wheelchair: $6,000
• Ironman or Half Ironman Triathlon: $10,000 (race entry, specialized equipment, travel, logistics and caregiver support)

Every year and every race my life is impacted and I truly love this organization. Please consider donating and helping in any form that's laid on your hear.

Much love and appreciation,

Daniel
