Tri For A Cause

Tri For A Cause Tri For A Cause is an annual triathlon dedicated to raising money for the Masonic Cancer Center and other local charities. My world fell down around me.

Six years ago my mother was diagnosed with small cell carcinoma of the lungs, cancer, the ugliest word a person can hear. We were told that she had two months to live, maybe more, maybe less. My mother, the one who was at my first grade Christmas play, the one who taught me how to ride a horse, the one who saw me off to college 2000 miles away from home, was going to die and I was helpless. After

getting a second opinion from the Masonic Cancer Clinic of Minnesota, we realized that there was hope. They decided that the tumor was operable. After an exhausting and emotional roller coaster ride, the hospital removed the cancer and gave my mother a second chance at life. Nothing could ever compare to what the Masonic Cancer Clinic had given back to our family, but somehow I wanted to help them in their fight against cancer. I became a member of the Masons, a wonderful philanthropic group that taught me, among other things, that the tools to change the world lie within each of us. So with the help of fellow Masons I started the first phase of “Tri for A Cause”. I committed myself to completing an Ironman triathlon to raise money for the Masonic Cancer Clinic. After the completion of an exhausting eight month journey, we had raised over $6,000 for the fight against cancer. In that journey I realized that I couldn’t let “Tri for A Cause” end with the crossing of a finish line. After discussing it with my fellow Masons we came up with the second phase of “Tri for a Cause”, a yearly triathlon to raise money for the Masonic Cancer Clinic, and other local charities. Set in a beautiful park in Crosby, Minnesota the race takes you through some of the most scenic parts of Cuyuna Country. By participating in this race, not only can you take part in one of the most scenic triathlons in Minnesota, but you can support an institution dedicated to saving the lives of individuals battling cancer.
