Dare2Tri feels like the perfect partnership for my first marathon. 

Providing people tools to live their best life has been an integral part of my journey. Over the last decade, I have explored the wellness industry and fitness world to better myself but also to empower others. I have been able to overcome hurdles that I didn't think I could and I have supported others in doing the same.

 Who is Dare2Tri? 

Dare2tri is an Illinois-based 501(c)3 non-for-profit organization with the mission to positively impact the lives of athletes with physical disabilities and visual impairments by developing their skills in paratriathlon. Dare2tri empowers individuals with disabilities and gives them the opportunity to be physically active, engaged with their community, and helps them set and reach goals. They boost individuals’ self-esteem, confidence, and self-worth.
