Captain Ben and his angels are out preparing for the 25k tomorrow. Ben is ensuring that his team of angels are ready to have some fun on the 25k course at the Amway River Bank Run

Thank you to WOOD TV8 for highlighting our captains, angels, and the difference we are making in our community.

West Michigan nonprofit myTEAM TRIUMPH pairs athletes with disabilities, called captains, with volunteer runners, who push them through races so they can experience the finish line for themselves.

On Saturday, Ben Evans will line up at the start of the Amway River Bank Run 25K with a team of three Grand Valley State University wrestlers: https://www.woodtv.com/sports/river-bank-run/tag-youre-it-gvsu-wrestlers-join-myteam-triumph/

It was a little a little chilly yesterday but it was a great day to spend at the ball fields! We joined our friends over at the West Michigan Miracle League to spread the mission of mTT. Some of our Captains were out there playing. We also met some Captains that will be racing with us for the first time this year as well as introducing and talking to some families about what we do. Thank you Miracle League for welcoming us to spread our mission. It was so fun watching you play ball.

What were you doing Saturday? We had a busy day. We were at the Shelly Irwin Fun Run in the morning, out working the beer tent at the Waterloo G+G Gravel Road Race, and at night we celebrated our Captains at the Captains Ball. We were only able to capture a few images at the Ball but did get some shots from the race on Saturday. We will post more photos from the ball once we receive them from our photographer.
See you all in two weeks at the Riverbank Run.
