Nick Completes Challenge  If you see Nick Tarasovic in the coming days, he may look a bit tired and a bit sore, but he'll have a big smile on his face after successfully completing his almost year long Tri-Challenge. On Sunday he swam 2.4 miles, rode a bike for 112 miles and ran 26.2 more miles in the Revolution 3 Cedar Point Triathlon in Sandusky, Ohio!
Nick's efforts raised close to $12,000 for Valley United Way and several other nonprofits in the Valley. Click here for the latest update.
