Looking for 5000 people to donate $10

Hey everyone. Welcome to 2010. We are off and running for the new year. We just got back from Boulder, CO--the #1 city in America for sports and outdoor recreation. Over 750 miles of bike and running trails in a town of 90,000. Beautiful city and wonderful people of whom we came in contact. Check out Jen's post below.

2010 also marks the start of some pretty hefty goals for myself in terms of endurance: 2 full Ironman triathlons, 2 half ironman triathlons, a 50K run, several century bike rides and a slew of smaller triathlons. Whoa...I am tired just thinking about it. It is all in part of my dedication to our 4-year-old niece, Ally.

Allison Georgia Ellis (or Ally) had Cerebral Palsy. She participated in a program called Ride to Walk in Lincoln, CA. Ally passed away on the morning of December 7, 2009. She was 4 years old. Her and I were planning on competing in triathlons together, like Rick and Dick Hoyt. Ally celebrated life to its fullest and my brother-in-law and his wife want her legacy to live on.

My wife and I have created a memorial scholarship in her name for the Ride to Walk program to help needy families who have children with disabilities so they could continue to benefit from this program. Please help me raise money for this amazing program in memory of Ally. I’m looking for 5,000 people who have $10 to donate and think doing an Ironman triathlon is an inspirational way to raise funds and awareness. You can donate to the Ride To Walk program through this Janus Charity Challenge web page or contact me for info about off-line donations at jcmckenna@gmail.com. Please check out www.ridetowalk.org for more information about the program.

We hope that you can spare $10 or more to help this amazing scholarship fund. It would mean so much to forward this link to all of your friends. We are excited that you will join me for an amazing 2010. If it was anything like 2009 in terms of endurance and racing, 2010 will be even better.
