I'm going fundracing for MS research in the delivery room! Will you help me bring encouragement to the world of MS and beyond?

My Race
This season I plan on competing in several Sprint and Olympic Tri's with my first of the year being the Legends Sprint on 6/5/16  with several others scattered in and completing my season in Bentonville AR with the Trifest for MS!  Along with training, I will have completed several hundred miles in swimming, biking and running throughout the season...

My Story
I started doing triathlons four years ago with my brother Shelby and have finally graduated to open water swims. Taught at an early age by our parents that you will have to compete in  everything you do... I continue to compete every day and I'm blessed to train and compete against the much smaller Shelby ;)   We are very competitive to this day and enjoy competing against each other and also pushing each other to work harder to realize your goals!

My Encouragement
Being a competitive triathlete is quite a challenge on its own merit, but helping possibly finding a cure for MS is even a greater challenge and every time I'm out there, I'm thankful and blessed to be able to compete.

Dedication
I dedicate my races to all of those battling MS.  I am fortune enough to have been blessed with the ability to compete at this level and feel those who battle MS daily to have a much tougher challenge than I do.  With the efforts of the Rampy MS Research Foundation, hopefully we can all change that.
