Society of Global Health Researchers in Action

We're so lucky to have been able to gain the support of so many, that I'm proud to share an initiative I launched to grow our sport has been 'adopted'!
While we'll certainly be back for IMMD in 2022, getting down to business, sponsors, friends, clients, and donors are helping us raise money to increase representation and diversity in sport by supporting coaching and providing scholarships for ~25 athletes to earn 20-80% off their IM-Tulsa registration!!
If you would, spread the word and let's help grow triathlon together!!

Big thanks to the Center for Supporting Diversity in Sport
