Thanks for visiting my page!

Your support really means the world to me.

This coming July, I am racing for Team USA in Denmark at the 2018 International Triathlon Union World Aquabike Championships (this is a 1.8 mile open water swim followed by a 75 mile bicycle time trial – think triathlon without the run). I qualified for this event by finishing 3rd in my age group at the 2017 USA Triathlon National Championships - Aquabike. I am using the World Championships to raise money to find a cure for ALS. My brother Tom, who has hiked and birded throughout the world, now has ALS. Tom takes a new biological drug (Tasigna) that is approved for a type of leukemia but is experimental for ALS. It appears to be slowing his ALS progression. Tasigna and other drugs that may slow or cure ALS need clinical trials, so I am doing this race to raise funds for this kind of research. If you are in a position to help, please click on the donate button to the right.  Your donation will help fund clinical research. 

I’ve signed up for One Dollar Difference for the ALS community because, together, our impact can lead to one day living in a world without ALS. The ALS Association is helping people all over the country living with this disease and pushing closer and closer towards a treatment and a cure every single day. We need more difference makers like you in this world to make it a better place. Please pass the page along to anyone else who is as awesome as you!

Thank you! Heather
