Jeremy and I have always wanted TRUE to be a company that benefits our community in ways beyond our services. This goal is much easier imagined than accomplished because it is very difficult to add new endeavors to already busy schedules. However, we have been finding ways that we can give back to our community by matching our existing interests and commitments with needs in our community.

Recently we became aware of a triathlon the proceeds of which support Special Olympics, AZ. This seemed like a great opportunity because we like triathlons and we think that Special Olympics make our community a better place. So, TRUE is sponsoring several participants in the Special Olympics Unified Triathlon (including Jeremy and me). The event groups athletes from the Phoenix area with Special Olympics AZ athletes in unified relay teams. Each team has 4 members. One member gets to participate alongside a Special Olympics AZ athlete in a leg (swim, bike, or run) of the unified triathlon.  I get to ride with Alex during the bike leg.

This is our first year, so we don’t know what to expect. But, we’ve heard from those that participated last year that it is a blast. We think it is a great idea and are glad to be a part of it.
