Racing for Orphans with Down Syndrome

Racing for Orphans with Down Syndrome

My family and I have loved being able to work on behalf of the children on Reece's Rainbow since  
finding this great organization.  It's for this reason that I had a hard time sleeping because of the excitement 
after hearing about this announcement!

Two months ago, Ironman announced a contest called Kona Inspired.  How it works is they have given
the general public an opportunity to submit a 90 second video based around the theme, "Anything is Possible".  
Winners receive a spot to race in the Ironman World Championship in October, but most importantly, they will 
race as a media athlete and have the opportunity to share their story on NBC's nationally televised broadcast of 
the championship this year!  THIS COULD BE OUR OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THESE PRECIOUS CHILDREN'S STORY 
WITH THE WORLD!!!

After reading Ironman's press release we immediately went to work.  This is an opportunity to help these children
in a way that I never imagined possible!  The video came together with the help of many wonderful people and we
submitted it.  105 videos were submitted.  After over a month long preliminary public voting, we just received
word that we are one of the top 15 videos and will compete in the final round of voting 
June 4 - June 18!!!

Please take a moment to WATCHVOTE, and SHARE our video as much as possible throughout the day from your 
home computer, work computer, laptop, phone, etc!  We need to be in the top 2 videos at the end of the day on 
June 18.  



Thank you for your time and willingness to make the dream of these orphans of finding their forever family 
a reality!
