This week's Rotary Foundation Thought is about a Rotarian going the distance for the Foundation.
Running, biking and swimming 482 miles in the course of a year or even a month is hardly the marvel of sports headlines. But racking up that distance in three days staggers the imagination. Jeff Glidden did just that through his Ultra Distance Triathlon Challenge, raising $100,000 and counting, as of June 2007 for the Annual Programs Fund. "It was difficult" said Glidden, "but it was more rewarding than anything I have ever done. Many Rotarins that had never given before contributed and supported me, that was definitely one of my goals". Corporate sponsors helped fuel Glidden's mega-triathlon challenge by each contributing at least $1000. Local media coverage also raised overall awareness of Rotary. All the proceeds from Glidden's challenge went to support The Rotary Foundation.
