The training will prepare me to participate in She Tris triathlon taking place at I’On Club in Mt. Pleasant <span dir="ltr">on May 20th, 2023</span>. The triathlon consists of a 200 yard swim, 8 mile bike and 2 mile run. The training is three days a week beginning Monday February 27th and most trainings are held in Mt. Pleassnt. Transportation in Charleston is a barrier for many of us as it’s unreliable, not on time and many areas including Mt. Pleassnt has gaps in area coverage. I also work full-time and waiting for unreliable and not very dependable transportation is going to make my days extremely long during these 12-weeks.</div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">I am asking for assistance to offset transportation costs to get to and from training sessions. Your generous assistance will help me prepare and get me across the finish line!!!!” 🏊🚴♂️🏃</div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">GoFundMelink: <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/triathlon-training-transportation">https://www.gofundme.com/f/triathlon-training-transportation</a></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Thanks! </div><br><div dir="ltr">Lori anne coley<div>President<span style="font-size: 40pt;"> NFBSC sports an rec.
