INVITATION TO MIRACLE KIDS TRIATHLON ~'
I am pleased to announce that the 6th Annual Miracle Kids Triathlon is being held this
Saturday, August 15th starting at 8 a.m. at Lake Ann Park. The mission of this event is to
introduce kids to a fun way of getting fit, being active, and learning the value of giving back
through racing in a world-class event.
The Theme of the event is: Kids Racing for Kids Who Can't. Hundreds of Minnesota
kids are battling cancer and are too sick to race - so participants do the racing for them. We hope
you will also choose to raise pledges for the Miracles of Mitch Foundation to make your race
more meaningful.
The Miracles of Mitch Foundation has two major giving priorities:
1. To provide cost-of-living financial assistance to the families of children diagnosed with
cancer, and
2. In those cases of a child facing an advanced stage of cancer illness, to facilitate an
individually tailored quality of life initiative for that child and their family.
In addition to the hundreds of volunteers that make this event possible, I would like to
acknowledge the founders of the Miracles for Mitch Foundation, Chanhassen residents Steve and
Becky Chepokas and MiracleKids Triathlon Race Director Tony Schiller for all they do for our
community. Chanhassen is proud to be the host location for the largest kid's triathlon in the
country and this event is another reason that Chanhassen is such a great place to live. Please
plan to join me and my family this coming Saturday at Lake Ann Park for the 6th Annual
MiracleKids Triathlon.
