The Blazeman Foundation for ALS has partnered with the Columbia Triathlon Association to offer 20 community slots slots for the sold out Ironman 70.3 EagleMan. The profits from the entries will benefit the Blazeman Foundation for ALS. Ironman 70.3 Eagleman is set to take place on June 13, 2010.
See the note from The Blazeman Foundation below:
We hope and encourage all Blazeman Warriors and supporters to take this opportunity to race for a cause that is “bigger than themselves”. The slots are $500.00 and will benefit the Blazeman Foundation for ALS for a new endeavor in research.
The proceeds of these slots at the EagleMan 70.3 will benefit our next goal of providing brain and tissue sample for ALS research. This area of research has been very limited in this disease and is key to finding an effective treatment and eventual cure for this fatal disease.
The EagleMan 70.3 is also the event where the Blazeman Spirit Award is given annually to a triathlete that exemplifies the tenants of Jonathan Blais. Jon faced this disease with courage, commitment and dedicated the remainder of his life “putting a face on ALS. Jon also in his life before ALS overcame many obstacles in becoming the wonderful teacher he was…opening up a world of the outdoors and athleticism to underprivileged and emotionally challenged students.
