I remember walking my daughter to the starting line of the race. Seeing all the girls prepping for the triathlon it hit me like a ton of bricks: the energy of excitement, nervousness, determination that was in the air just brought tears to my eyes. The girls were helping each other, hugging their parents; the coaches greeted each girl with such care and concern. This triathlon is so more than just a race. It is a life journey for each girl, an awakening of strength, willpower and courage. In a short period of time i-tri became I-CAN as each and every one of those girls crossed the finish line.
