Help Christy McLeod Crush Ironman 70.3 World Championship

Donation protected
Who am I? Christy. Triathlete. Therapist. Aunty. Life-Enthusiast. Given an opportunity, to inspire. [More info at: www.alifeofperspective.com]

I have been invited to Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Marbella, Spain, November 8, 2025 and I need your help to get there!

In less than two years time my life has gone from being quite dormant, to hosting a 1/2 Marathon fundraiser (in which I had never run or attended one prior), to running ten 1/2 Marathons in less than two years, 3 small triathlons, a T100 and two 70.3 Ironmans.

On top of the radical changes of these last couple of years, my story has additional spice to it, as I am missing a portion of my right arm, so it demands I think outside of the box and live in the land of creativity for almost everything that I do, using just one hand for it all. This spice also means that for many, it's inspirational to see that I just keep crushing! As such, I'd like to use my invitation to Spain as a catalyst to not only show it can be done, but to grow my network and ability to impact.

As 1/6 athletes from around the World in my category and the only Canadian, I will attend Worlds in Spain and I need your help to get there.

I own my own business as therapist, if I am not there, I have no income coming in. I am also the sole chef in the household. Balancing a full caseload and 1-3 training sessions a day, is just hard. I will adjust my workload to compensate for this season and you can help me get there as a result.

Here are some ways your financial assistance helps:

Unexpected bike purchase.
Cost of adapting bike so I can use with one hand.
Training.
Training
Nutrition and Supplements; During and Post-Sport
Chaperone to Spain
Bike Maintenance
Cost of Triathlon Swim, Bike, Run Clinics
Cost of Race Registration
Flights
Accommodations
Other.

Note: My initial goal is $20,000. If we surpass that, $25,000 will allow me to Crush Worlds and come home ahead. Anything over $25,000 will go to Streetfront, the largest marathon program for youth, in the world, located in Vancouver, BC.

Note: All funds are going into a designated account and can be audited by any contributor upon request. Should you want to donate privately, please find me on Paypal. Christy McLeod.

PLEASE SHARE WITH FRIENDS/FAMILY/COLLEAGUES/BUSINESSES that you are aware of that like to partner with upcoming athletes/people who seek to inspire and impact. I need your help here.
