Support - Lee's RACE for Valeria

In an effort to raise money for 3 year old Valeria, Lee has decided to compete in a 1/2 IRONMAN on September 27, 2015. Valeria Castillo González is the daughter of one of Lee's friends who lives in Venezuela. Valeria was born with congenital heart disease on December 26, 2011. Her heart is growing larger on one of its sides and she requires surgery to correct this defect. Neither the doctors, hospitals, nor technology is available to complete this procedure in Venezuela. Valeria has been set up at Wolfson Children's Hospital in Jacksonville, FL for the operation. With the help of Valeria's parents, she is set to travel on November 18 and have the operation a few days later. There's only one problem, due to the current economic and governmental situation in Venezuela, along with all Venezuelan citizens, Valeria's parents cannot exchange their money for American dollars to pay for the flights, operation and 25 day stay in Jacksonville for the operation and recovery. Valeria and her parents created a "gofundme" account solely for Valeria to raise money for all of the expenses . . . of which totals $45,000. Here is a picture of Valeria & her family along with family friend, Claudia.

Any amount you would be willing to donate will help! It will add up and and save Valeria's life . . . help Lee raise money for little Valeria!!
