Every experience, every challenge, every race is an opportunity to learn and grow.
Embrace it all, and keep moving forward."

In 2014, Terence Reuben, Executive Director of myTeamTriumph, turned 40 and with that set a huge goal and accomplished his first Ironman. Once the high of doing something epic began to fade, he spent the rest of that fall and winter thinking about what he could do to help someone or support some cause in his community. He wondered if there was a way to use athletic talents or skills to give back to our community in some way. Was there something that could do to inspire the next generation of athletes? Could he do something with people who are not athletes to inspire them to get active? Maybe there was something he could do to help someone with a disability? He knew he wasn't the only one who felt this way, so he collaborated. |
