Shelbyville Triathlon #2 Race Report

Louisville Landsharks Triathlon Race Report
I’ve been involved with the Kids Center for Pediatric Therapies for for over 5 years now. Since the first time that I set foot in that place, I’ve been inspired and wanted to help. Something that has been on my radar for the last few years was doing a triathlon in tandem with a disabled […]
