There are some really inspiring stories among the athletes. Teagan!

Jennifer Mullen Webboard User Reg: 08-16-2007 Posts: 2365 Loc: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Offline	The triathlete from the other forum who is working to raise money for Operation Rebound has said it's OK if I post a link to his fundraising page: https://www.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=293908&supid=247268412 And he also said that if anyone has any questions and wants to email him, they are welcome to (PM me for his email address). Edit: and here is a better blurb about the Challenged Athlete Foundation and Operation Rebound than I did!  Quote: In 2004, CAF recognized a critical need among the brave members of our armed forces returning from Afghanistan and Iraq who had suffered permanent disabilities – such as an amputation -- in combat. That need was for mentoring and community with athletes who had prevailed over similar circumstances and shared similar experiences. It became part of CAF’s mission to help show injured soldiers that they could be “whole” again through participation in sports – at any level. It is our intention to create a valuable resource that these soldiers and veterans can use after they return home – or to their home base. Operation Rebound is here to help them meet their athletic goals, whether it’s finishing their local 5K – or trying to make it to the Paralympics. Teagan!

Next time I'm tired and whining to myself during training, I need to think of him and all the other athletes, and mentally and phsyically HTFU Teagan!
