One Foot in Front of the Other.....

This is my new mantra. This is the reality of how our family must face each day. One foot in front of the other, one day at a time....

As I'm sure most of you are aware, this blog (well the blog formerly known as seaisletriathlon.blogspot.com) was created by Matt McCulley.

Matt suddenly passed away on January 12th. He was a loving husband, father of 3 beautiful girls, a beloved son, brother, and friend. TRI FOR OUR VETERANS was extremely important to him, and it is our family's wish that his vision be carried on.

I am Matt's sister, and I hope to be able to continue what Matt started....to support our military veterans. I am now the race director for this year, and the TRI is scheduled for May 29, 2010.

I won't promise to be as insightful, thorough, or as funny as my brother was - but I am willing to give it a go! I will not have the answers to everything, as I have never competed in a triathlon in my life! I do, however, have many people who are helping me learn the ropes and guiding me through this new journey. I want to especially thank Neil Semmel from Piranha Sports, Shannon McGroagan from GO! Athletics, Chuck Brodsky from the Nation's Triathlon, as well as, my family and friends. Since Matt's passing, the amount of support we have received has been overwhelming. Thank you does not seem to be enough.

Matt was very special to me, and I miss him more as each second goes by. His drive, commitment, and determination to help The Injured Marines Semper Fi Fund, Sea Isle's VFW Post 1963, and all military veterans was amazing......you can help to continue his passion by signing up here!

Thank you!!!
