Realizing that Grace’s most recent surgery was only made possible during the last 12 years of medical advances (the number of years between her surgeries), I wish to raise money for research in this field. Please join me in my quest to raise money for The Children’s Heart Foundation, the only national non-profit specifically created to help fund congenital heart defect research.
Our goal is to raise $20,000! The fund-raising website is run by Kintera through the Janus Charity Challenge, exclusively for IronMan competitors. For the top fundraiser in each IronMan event, Janus will contribute an additional $10,000 to help support the chosen charity. The goal is for TEAM GRACE to raise the most money in coordination with the Louisville event, so that our total contribution to The Children’s Heart Foundation will be $30,000; enough to fund a research grant that could mend many hearts. Thanks in advance for your support!

Traveling the world has shown me the value of community involvement in providing fresh and healthy foods to the mouths of thousands. Now that I am home, I wish to help create resources and ways in which healthy food can become more readily available in our communties. Travel through the west end of Louisville, or anywhere in the city for that matter... Do you see accessibility to fresh produce? Do you see fast-food chains filling the cracks of the neighborhoods? Do you see obesity as a result of unhealthy habits (and are these truly habits or rather disconnects between education, health, and affordability of whole foods)?
