Good Morning!

I would like to introduce our McKinley Healthy Living summer intern to you, Beau Mourer!  Beau graduated from Brighton High school in 2015 where he had a very successful wrestling career.  He just finished up his freshman year at Bowling Green State University where he is majoring in Business Administration.  Beau accomplished a lot in his freshman year.  While maintaining a 4.0 GPA he joined a business fraternity, social fraternity, the club wrestling team and is a representative for the career center student advisory board at BGSU!  He’s excited to be with us for the next couple of months and he’s already planning an awesome event to help us raise money for JDRF!!

Below is a note from Beau:

Hi Everyone,

We are planning a triathlon to raise money for JDRF called TRI for T1D.  The triathlon consists of an 800-meter row on a stationery rowing machine (yes you read that correctly, ROWING MACHINE!), an 8-mile bike ride (on an indoor spin bike and the ride will be coached by Meredith), and a 2-mile run. As you probably noticed, there is no swimming event—for some, that might be a blessing. TRI for T1D will take place on Thursday, August 4, 2016 at our corporate office in Ann Arbor, Michigan. There will be a set number of heats with no more than 8 people per heat, with the first starting promptly at 4:30pm. The number of heats will be determined based on the number of participants. The $40 entry fee for participants includes a shirt, but don’t worry, shirts will also be available for purchase if you are unable to participate. All proceeds will be donated to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. So, if you think you’re ready to take down Type 1 Diabetes, then click here to register.  One more thing, if you are not in Michigan but would still like to support JDRF, you can sponsor anyone of the participants and cheer them on!!  As our participant list grows, we will notify you so you have the opportunity to get involved.
