The Angels Foundation recognizes that we can only become our best with the inspiration and strength of others - angels who see more in us than we see in ourselves. These angels often impact our lives in ways that are difficult to describe, and impossible to repay.
The mission of the Angels Foundation is two-fold:
Create opportunities for individuals to honor angels who have touched their lives
Encourage people to be angels in the lives of others.
The sport of triathlon, like life, is as much a competition with self as it is with other athletes. The Angels Race is an opportunity to challenge yourself to give it your best, and to honor those who inspired you to become who you are, and who you seek to be. Participants write the name of the angel they are honoring on their body during body marking, and carry the spirit of that person throughout the race. Many are inspired to their best performance, some resolve grief or celebrate a lost angel while others recognize the significance of someone currently in their life. For everyone, it is more than just a race. Be an Angel, Honor an Angel, Give it a TRI!
