Support mTT and our journey!

Along with the training and preparation it takes to complete an IRONMAN, Krissy's Madtown Team is also working raise funds for the continued efforts of my Team Triumph. 

This is an example of the running chair:


The equipment needed for the captains to participate comes at a price and we are thrilled to announce that Dean & St. Mary's helped purchase a new chair this fall!



As you can imagine, the more captains and angels we have, the more equipment and support we need! 
If you would like to donate to mTT and support this wonderful mission - please click on the link below. 
We also have a permanent link on the right side of the blog - so you can donate at anytime. 
We encourage you to follow the blog (again, links on the right) - we hope as you learn more about us and mTT you will be moved to support this amazing organization!

Speaking of Dean & St. Mary's --- we are proud to partner with them throughout the coming year to work together to promote Wellness with a Purpose to their staff, patients and the community.

Watch for some of the fun and exciting ways we hope to get more people moving in 2016 with their support!

more about mTT


If you aren't familiar with my Team Triumph - please take a minute or two and read below. Additionally, there are two great videos at the bottom - they are so inspirational and so worth your time! 

myTeam Triumph ---  is a local non-profit athletic mentoring program created for children, teens, adults and veterans with disabilities who would normally not be able to experience endurance events such as triathlons or road races.  
mTT's motto is "Wellness with a Purpose".



A little more about myTEAM TRIUMPH:


·         myTEAM TRIUMPH promotes health, teamwork, and community, and requires the involvement of many people with diverse abilities and disabilities.
·         Captains are challenged athletes who are the inspiration of our team with their spirit of courage and joy
·         Three able-bodied Angels utilize specialized racing equipment to guide their Captain in a Road Race or Triathlon.
·         Crossing the finish line together, teams build deep bonds based on respect, and an experience they will never forget
·         With myTEAM TRIUMPH, disabled participants get to do it all! They will “Captain” a team of “Angels” through an entire race guaranteeing them their moment of glory as they cross that finish line that so many of us take for granted
