30 Triathlons in 30 Days
Here’s the big news! It’s never been done before.
“30 Triathlons in 30 Days to raise $30,000″
As a Spokane television broadcaster I have an amazing opportunity and responsibility to make a positive contribution to the community. This is one way I hope to accomplish that. I hope you will join me in raising awareness and money for Cancer Patient Care. Please sponsor my efforts either by the mile or with a single contribution.
Why Cancer Patient Care? Not only is it a local agency helping cancer survivors and their families, 100% of all donations stays right here in the Inland Northwest. You’ll find more details on my “30 in 30″ profile page on Cancer Patient Care’s website.
I would also like to challenge ‘YOU’ to set a triathlon goal for the month of September. Distances below. Encourage your friends and family to sponsor your commitment of completing 1, 5, 10 or 30 triathlons in 30 days. They too, can make a donation in your honor through my “30 in 30″ profile page.
As for me, I’ll be swimming, biking and running “INDOORS” at a Spokane area fitness club, Monday through Friday between 6:00-8:30 am. Weekend times will vary.

Not ready for a triathlon? No problem. Take my other “30 in 30″ challenge: “30 Minutes of Exercise a Day, for 30 Days”. This too would be a fundraising effort.
I challenge people of all ages, especially children, to commit to some kind of physical activity for 30 minutes a day for 30 days. To help you, I’ve partnered with Natalie Litzell, Certified Fitness Trainer and Wellness Consultant in North Idaho.
Each day on the News at 5 blog, we’ll be posting a new exercise and nutritional tip to help guide you. A healthy body is a strong body, let’s stop cancer before it starts!
Sprint Triathlon distance:
Swim: 1/2 mile = 900 yards = 27,000 yards = 15.34 miles
Bike: 13 miles = 390 miles
Run: 3.1 miles (5k) = 93 miles + 2
30 Day Total = 500 miles

Dave,
It was nice to meet you today and thank you for your support of Cancer Patient Care. If you want to send me some talking points on your 30 in 30 fund raiser, I’ll mention it at the City Council meeting on Monday.
