Why I chose Team Continuum

I wanted my first 140.6 to be connected to something bigger than myself. There were multiple charity foundation options available and I narrowed my choice down to three that were connected to battling cancer. First, The Hole in the Wall Camp, which I raised money for in the past while I was a senior in high school, is a charity that has expanded to help young kids with serious illnesses regain their childhood. Second, Team in Training- probably the most visible charity partner in endurance sports. My cousin has a form of Leukemia which made this foundation a finalist for me. Third, Team Continuum, which helps cancer patients and their families. Cancer research receives a lot of visibility and funding, but my personal experience tells me that taking care of cancer patients is more than just funding the research and treatments. This is how Team Continuum is unique. This charity helps cancer patients and their families with a variety of everyday life things like paying bills, providing toys for young patients during the holidays, and friendship and moral support because "there is a lot more to cancer than finding the cure."
The icing on the Team Continuum cake was access to a professional triathlete, John Hirsch, as a coach! This distinguished Team Continuum from the other amazing charities.

John and I spoke on the phone earlier in December and he crafted a detailed training plan- specific to my fitness and schedule. I'm in my third week of mostly two-a-days. I'm super excited to work with such a dedicated and talented triathlete/coach. Check him out here!
