This special event supports the Save the Children organization.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.savethechildren.org\/\">Save the Children<\/a> organization was supported by my niece Kathy who passed away from leukemia three years ago. Kathy always had a special interest in helping children from an early age. I mention this because her brother David, in honor of his sister Kathy, has been training intensely for months to participate in the Maryland Ironman. David\u2019s story is on the Save the Children <a href=\"http:\/\/www.savethechildren.org\/faf\/donorReg\/donorPledge.asp?ievent=1121714&amp;lis=1&amp;kntae1121714=99B34E60628B47D8AC352EB3474FA8F1&amp;supId=418559703\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In his writeup David includes this inspiring paragraph, \u201cSave the Children is a non-profit organization that invests in children each and every day, in times of crisis and for the future. In the U.S.A. and around the world, they give children a healthy start, the opportunity to learn, and protection from harm. By transforming children&#8217;s lives now, we change the course of their future\u2026and ours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Check out David\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/chaneyironman#sthash.n1lGYtA9.dpuf\">Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you will take time to visit the Save the Children website where you can learn about David and his sister Kathy. If you can, please consider a donation to Save the Children which will also help David reach his goal.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers!<br \/>\nKathy<\/p>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"owbutton\" src=\"http:\/\/www.onlywire.com\/button\" title=\"IRONMAN Event Supports Save the Children\" url=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/?p=11877\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An IRONMAN event is scheduled on Maryland\u2019s Eastern Shore for October 3rd.
