Thumbs up to this triathlon swim practice early Saturday am (5/09/26) on Key Biscayne. It’s Nono’s very first triathlon and Arturo’s first duo team effort. Erinne has years of experience (and many inspirational stories) with ThumbsUp International’s athletes, helping, guiding, leading us through our triathlon adventures.

And a HUGE thank you to Remberto Ramirez for ALL his help!

BIG TH❌⭕️ also to ALL others who have been involved and will be involved in many different ways!

This was the first practice of the 2026 triathlon season for these ThumbsUp International team members. We have three teams entered in Integrity MultiSport’s Mack Cycle June 21 Sprint triathlon. WHAT A THRILL FOR EVERY BODY!!

We are so grateful to Integrity Multisports for sponsoring our efforts.

The purpose of ThumbsUp International is to foster a bonding of teams towards an acceptance of your own and others’ different possibilities – for a cooperative community, nation and world grounded in peaceful communication.

Changes are possible and welcome.

Be sure to stay tuned! More stories and photos of fun to come S⭕️⭕️NEST !!!

On Saturday, April 25, 2026, ThumbsUp International was out in force again, soaking up the beautiful Coral Gables scene and even better, the company. There is nothing like the energy of race day—the cheers, sun on our bodies, wind in our faces, with the crucial reminder that we are stronger together, all ways.

Huge thank you to the organizers

Congrats and th❌🅾️❌ to everyone on our team – Holly, Joaquin, Clara & Kerry! And to everyone who encourage us along the 5K route!

We left our hearts on the course and came away with even more fantabulous memories. Until the next one …SOONEST ?! 👍🏻😍🤩

Join me tomorrow to celebrate the Bold Beauty Project’s acceptance at the highly prestigious Biennale. There will be a selection of portraits of past Bold Beauty exhibitions including mine.
ThumbsUp International’s responsibilities and views are possible & Bold Beauty Project’s vision aligns so well with ours. We look forward to a successful evening with old and new friends.

Supwrgrats AND TY to the Bold Beauty leadership for this tremendous accomplishment. Your tireless efforts have paid off and turned what was a dream of years into a reality: an opportunity to change/expand our definition of beauty - and hopefully that definition changes, if not for every body - then for a large number of us . It could well be a history making shift!
