"My brother, Rory, was the reason that I and the Brooklyn Landsharks decided to start our quest to cure blood cancer through triathlons. He wrote a little letter that I wanted to share:

Dear supporters and future supporters of the Landsharks,

Training for a triathlon is an arduous task. Swimming. Biking. Running. Repeat. What the Landsharks are setting out to do (again) should not be taken lightly. The only thing to get you through these workouts is to keep your eyes on the prize: finding a cure for blood cancers. Yes, finishing the race will be nice for them too, but that’s only a small part of why they have banded together with Team in Training.
