REUNION PARTY Thursday, October 27, 2011
7:00pm - 10:00pm Prohibition Gastropub & Oyster Bar
If you've ever participated on the TriAdventure please come out to our reunion party. We promise you'll see lots of good friends.
A note to 2011 participants: We're currently planning our annual trip to Uganda (we leave Dec 2!), and we would love it if you could consider sending a note and some pics to "your" kid at Nikibasika. The kids ADORE to know people are thinking about them, and they LOVE getting mail. They also love photos of Canadians so please bring them along to the Reunion Party.
JOEL GETS A NEW LAPTOP The TriAdventure has to be one of the most generous groups of people ever! In anticipation of the upcoming trip to Nikibasika, Cate sent out an email looking for a used laptop to give Joel who will be studying computer programs next semester. The TriAdventure gang raised over $500 in less than 24 hours so instead of a used laptop we can get him a brand new one. WAY TO GO and thank you so much Nancy Pryce for leading the way with your idea and donation.
We raised over $140,000 for Nikibasika! We will be updating this website all week with info from our 2011 trip. Stay tuned!

BOOM!ER SPOTLIGHT: DAVID GRAHAM Back in the cold days of winter a friend of mine told me about the TriAdventure; a challenge to conquer a 3 km swim, 15 km run, 15 km canoe and 140 km bike over three days in August. Roughly fifty athletes & volunteers commit to the event in support of African youth living at the Nikibasika Learning and Development Project in Uganda whose lives have been impacted by HIV/Aids or civil war. This triathlon is the primary source of funding that covers their food, shelter and education.
That casual conversation with my friend resonated with me, more than he probably realized. I felt empowered to know that even continents away, I could do something to benefit a bunch of kids in Uganda who deserve a fighting chance; a chance that quite frankly I have had all along. I’Äôve always wanted to do a Triathlon and this was my chance to prove to myself that I could do it. In terms of the fundraising, I knew I could count on my friends, family and work associates to stand behind me.
