How would you like to have 3 time Olympian,
Hunter Kemper, come speak to your triathlon club?

YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Dear Club President,

This will be my third Olympic games and as I head for Beijing in August, I
could think of no better way to commemorate this occasion than to
help find life-improving therapies and a cure for ataxia-telangiectasia,
or A-T for short. The only hope lies in desperately needed research.

While in Grand Rapids, Michigan in late 2007, I met Dave and Mary
Veldink and learned that two of their children, Kate and Olivia, had
both been diagnosed with A-T. My wife Valerie and I were touched
when we heard their story. I decided to run the WALT DISNEY
WORLD® Half Marathon this past January with the Veldinks, their
friends and family, and dozens of other A-T families who come each
January to raise funds to find a cure for A-T. I had so much fun and felt
proud and privileged to race for this special cause. Our hearts will never
be the same.

I have created a t-shirt for my fans that represents perseverance. It takes
perseverance to achieve your goals and perseverance to cross the finish
line. These children struggling with A-T demonstrate extreme preseverance
as they fight this horrible disease every day. The entire proceeds of these
t-shirts will benefit the A-T Children's Project in honor of Kate and Olivia. I
would love for you to join me in this important mission.

Thank you,

Hunter Kemper

TRI CLUB CHALLENGE
I challenge every triathlon club across the country to sell
as many Hunter Kemper t-shirts as possible to raise
money for the A-T Children's Project. The triathlon club
that raises the most funds through either the sale of t-shirts,
or by donation will have the opportunity to have me come
and speak to their club after the Olympic Games. I feel
passionate about this special cause and I would love for
you to join me in supporting these families and children
that deal with this difficult disease.

 
GRAND PRIZE: Hunter will travel to your club at no expense
to you! He will share with your club his secrets to success
along with stories about his Olympic journey.
