What is TeamBigWave?

Today I was asked a question by a lady named Alana. The question, "What is TeamBigWave" ?

Ok Good question.

Three years ago I was planning to do my first Tri race at St. Anthony's with Team in Training. Then Lisa got sick again and had to undergo a stem cell transplant. So I dropped out of the race.

Then a great thing happened. Buddy Hammerman offered to "take my place" and ride with TNT in the 100 mile America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride. And ride he did. The ride really impacted him and since that time he has been riding non stop including last years Lance Armstrong ride in Philly.

So I got the idea. If we could encourage other folks to do the same thing, lots of good stuff would happen. Even folks who did not race themselves might feel better hearing about our exploits---Oh yea, maybe they would kick in cash as well.

Our goals: 1)Encourage people to do Team in Training events. 2)Encourage people to do other charity endurance events 3)Create a positive vibe.

Right now we have five athletes heading to St. Anthony's and over the past few years we have raised around 45K. Not bad for a day at the office.

That's who we are. Are you one of us?
