My name is Tammy. Some of you may know me as the past administrator of OAT (the OAT office once resided in my home for 4 wonderful years), a past member of the OAT Board of Directors, Janet Fraser's little helper on site at the Subaru Triathlon Series races or as the "girl in blue". I thought I would let you know of a little project that my husband Colin and I are working on.
We have decided to do the TRISPORT Half Ironman Relay in Peterborough, July 6 2008 to raise funds for Sunnybrook's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. This has special meaning to us because our daughter Dakota sadly passed away this June 6, 2007, two days after she was born.
We have some exciting plans for 2008 in anticipation of our race. If you are interested in following our progress, we have created a group on "Facebook" called Dakota Skye: In Memory, where we are posting updates of our plans, and training progress.
Our donations page through Sunnybrook has just been launched. So, if you wanted some more information, and are not on "Facebook" , or wanted to donate to our cause- you can check out
We recognize that we need some assistance in making our fundraising efforts as successful as possible. We are forming a committee of 5-6 people to help us with media relations, sponsorship, graphic design and web development. If you have experience in these areas or have a genuine desire to contribute to our cause, please contact us ASAP.
We invite you to join our "Facebook" group(Dakota Skye Gravlev: In Memory). We also have plans to develop our own Tri for Dakota website to use as our main information forum. Until that time, if you are not a member of "Facebook" but would like to receive email updates, send me a quick email at trifordakota@hotmail.com.
Thanks for your time.......and have a great off season!!
