Commitment. To the race. To the cause. To making life - and lives - better.
We continue to be astounded by the commitment of our Janus Charity Challenge athletes who turn their passion for Ironman into compassion for individuals that face far greater challenges than those that athletes experience on race day.
Since the program's inception in 2001, the Janus Charity Challenge has raised over $40 million for hundreds of deserving nonprofit organizations across the United States, serving communities across the globe. Together we are helping to build more promising futures for our families, our neighborhoods and our world.
The 2009 Ironman season has come to an end and we are amazed by our athletes' accomplishments in these difficult economic times. Below is a snapshot of 2009's fundraising results:
