Young Triathlete Raises Awareness, Money For Prostate Cancer Foundation
This is inspiring and if you follow the link, there is a nice 1:30 video that is impressive.
- Winter Vinecki is the 2010 IronKids National Champion and the 2011 IronKids Ambassador.
- At just 12-years-old she is winning medals, while at the same time trying to save lives.
- Winter founded "Team Winter" at age nine after doctors diagnosed her dad, Michael, with an aggressive form of Prostate Cancer.
- He passed away ten months later.
- Since starting "Team Winter," Winter has helped raise close to $300,000 for prostate cancer research.
- There are currently more than 200 athletes from around the world racing for "Team Winter."
- Because the family doesn't spend much time in Gaylord anymore, they are planning to turn their home into a retreat for prostate cancer survivors.
