COMMUNITY

I WILL FOUNDATION ● ● ●
The I Will Foundation (www.iwillfoundation.com) was started by my hometown friend, NYC Firefighter Matt Long to help people overcome adversity and challenges caused by illness or traumatic injury. Matt was struck by a bus in 2005, surviving his accident through years of rehab and over 40 surgeries. Doctors credit Matt’s excellent physical condition and rigorous fitness training with the success of his recovery. I Will provides, motivation, training and support to individuals willing to work hard to realize their goals despite the obstacles they’ve been presented.

HOPE RUNS ● ● ●
Hope Runs (www.hoperuns.org) works to empower orphaned and vulnerable children in impoverished African communities with an understanding of personal health, social entrepreneurship and technology through running. On-site service learning coaches lead daily running programs, while also organizing an
internationally-attended race that calls global attention to the community and its unique challenges. They also establish creative writing projects, technology training, and small scale businesses that help this community continue to thrive in the future.

PASS IT ON ● ● ●

Tri Kula will happily be accepting donations of gently used running shoes or athletic clothing at all participating yoga and triathlon events. Hope Runs will use your donations to outfit the athletes they coach in Kenya and other impoverished communities If you know of a cause or group that might benefit from a yoga or triathlon program, please contact us about potential service opportunities for charitable organizations.

Tri Kula Coaching is grounded in the principle of service to one’s community. This page will highlight the causes and organizations we’re working with to promote positive social change through sport.
