Chris is highest fundraiser at 2002 Ironman Revisited!

On August 25, 2002 Chris joined 26 other triathletes along the shores of Oahu to rediscover the journey of triathlon. The event was Ironman Revisited and it was a benefit for the Challenged Athletes Foundation. Chris and the other participants swam 2.4 miles, biked 112 miles, and then ran a 26.2 mile marathon, non-stop in one day!

Chris learned of this event from 2002 Badwater Ultramarathon finisher Chris Frost over Memorial Weekend during the Badwater Training Clinic. Right then and there, he knew he had to do this event and that he would also do it in the spirit of his all-time favorite TV show and philosophy fountain, Magnum, p.i., which was filmed on Oahu from 1980 to 1988.

On behalf of himself, and the Challenged Athletes Foundation, Chris thanks everyone for their generous contributions to his effort, totaling over $12,500, the most raised by any participant in this event! Chris Frost raised over $4,000 and was the third highest fundraiser, too! Altogether, over $60,000 was raised on behalf of the Challenged Athletes Foundation.
