Thanks to YOU We Are Making a Difference!


We want to thank you for all you did to make this year a success! We exceeded our goal of $8,000 and raised $9,080 for the Mark Felice Childhood Cancer Fund
For those that donated, purchased a t-shirt, participated in the triathlon and to those who were spectators at the race, we love all that you did for our great cause!  It was truly a great time for all, but most of all for the children that will benefit from our efforts. Thanks to your donations, the Children’s Blood & Cancer Center at Dell Children’s Hospital was able to hire a Pediatric Oncology Social Worker, Carmen Gattis, to begin assisting families during their hospital stay, instead of waiting until they are able to go home.

"Helping families along the journey of childhood cancer and blood disorders is a special opportunity. Families face such difficult circumstances and my job is to help make that a little easier and allow them to focus on the care and love of their child. The philanthropic support that allowed my position to be created is a gift that has a ripple effect. Thank you for your support." – Carmen Gattis

We look forward to many years to come and growing the Mark Felice Childhood Cancer Fund!

Thank you,

Mark Felice TRI-ing For A Cause Team

Challenge Yourself to Go the Distance

The past 6 years we have competed in triathlons, we have raised over $34,000! Our goal for this triathlon season is to raise $8,000! This year we will be competing in the Cap Tex Triathlon on May 26, 2014. We hope you will join us as a competitor, fundraiser, and/or supporter.

This year is going to be different from previous years as we raise money for the Mark Felice Childhood Cancer Fund by TRI-ing For A Cause! The Mark Felice Childhood Cancer Fund is growing in people, support and donations. This year we will be raising money year round with a variety of community events. We are selling TRI-ing For A Cause and Mark Felice Childhood Cancer Fund t-shirts this year online. Be sure to like the Mark Felice Childhood Cancer Fund Facebook page so you don't miss a thing!

As we challenge ourselves to go the distance I challenge you to read Mark's story, donate to the cause, participate in fundraising, buy a t-shirt and cheer us on at the race!
