So the "Weight Training Routine" book has been selling more than I ever thought possible. As such, I need to start giving back to the community. So....10% of the net sales will go to the Challenged Athletes Foundation at www.caf.org I will also ask that 50% of that donation be used towards a US Marine. I'm a bit biased, yes, but that's how I see the world.
I chose CAF because its mission to assist people with physical disabilities is a noble cause in my mind. When I went to Iraq, I told myself I would be ok if I lost a leg or an arm because groups like this are out there to help you once the docs get you back into the game. And now that I have kids, I can't imagine a young child not having the opportunity to compete physically and know the joys of success and, yes, the pains of defeat because it makes a person grow so much.
I could have chosen a cancer cause like Relay For Life, but I don't think is a perfect match.
CAF feels like a perfect match to me!
I'm a family guy who is addicted to swim/bike/run and anything to do with getting out into the backcountry wilderness areas. This blog focuses on the swim, bike, run and other various aspects of my attempts to finish in the top ten percent of my age group in whatever race I do. It used to be all about finishing the legs of an Olympic Distance triathlon: swim in 20 minutes, bike in 60 minutes, and run in 40 minutes. Now, it's more about training well and finishing well.
