FEBRUARY 7, 2014
Look through a website enough times and you may find a hidden gem...
I was registered as an Ironman participant but I was still curious about the volunteer opportunities for the Ironman. One day, a day like any other day, I came across a 'group volunteer' tab and found out that the 2014 IRONMAN Boulder was going to need an astonishing 3,000 volunteers for the event! They even offered grants for large groups who could volunteer for extended periods of time.
Could I put together a group of volunteers? Would that group qualify for a grant? Could that grant be designated to go to Doctors Without Borders? Could that grant count toward my fundraising total?
The answers to all those questions was YES!
Angela and the Kaia F.I.T. Boulder girls instantly volunteered to participate! The Team Kaia Bike Course Marshals will be manning the first 20 miles of the bike course starting at the Boulder Reservoir and going north towards Carter Lake on Highway 36. This part of the course is a beautiful stretch of road along the foothills and then jogs a little eastward into the gorgeous rolling hills of Boulder's horse and lake country.
Look for lots of pink (Kaia's signature color) and enthusiastic girls in tutus cheering wildly!
PLUS our group grant raises $500 for Doctors Without Borders!!!
