Sarah's Second Triathlon

Yesterday Sarah was in her second Miracle Kids Triathlon, held each August in Chanhassen. The children who participate, aged 7-17, race for other children who have cancer and are unable to compete in such events. Sarah raced for a boy named Jesse and did well, finishing in 25 minutes (100 yard swim, 3 mile bike, 0.5 mile run).

Sarah also raised some money for the Miracles of Mitch Foundation, which was founded by a 10-year-old boy, Mitch Chepokas, who died of cancer in 2003. Shortly before that, however, he asked his parents to start this foundation for the benefit of other families with children who have cancer.

It is a very nice, well-staged, and awe-inspiring event. And I should also mention that last year's triathlon, Sarah's first, motivated me to run my first marathon this past June!
