17 Triathlons in 4 Months completed! 1 more to go Tri’ing to End ALS
After traveling 24,000 KM across Canada and back, to each province and territory, competing in 18 triathlons in 4.5 months, two amazing Canadians, who have been directly affected by Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Donna Bartel and her husband Mike Pearson, will return home to BC. They are “Tri’ing to End ALS” by raising funds and awareness for the ALS Societies across Canada and research through PROJECT HOPE.
Funds raised go to support patient service programs provided the ALS Societies across Canada and ALS research through PROJECT HOPE.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease) is a disease that gradually paralyzes people because the brain is no longer able to communicate with the muscles of the body that we are typically able to move at will. Over time, as the muscles of the body break down, someone living with ALS will lose the ability to walk, talk, eat, swallow, and eventually breathe. ALS can happen to anyone at any time. Life expectancy is between 2-5 years. There is no known cause of or cure, yet. At any given time, there are 4,000 Canadians living with ALS.
Their journey is documented on the website blog https://www.triingtoendals.ca/blog.
It needs to be noted, the cost of travel, triathlon entry fees, food, gas, camping fees, and time off from their jobs, is being carried by Mike and Donna, with the exception for some sponsorships they secured.
