Kerry Abols, a teacher at Lockerby Composite School will be competing in the Hawaii Ironman triathlon World Championship on Oct. 16, 2004.

Abols qualified for the event by being the second placed Canadian in the amateur under-30 category at Ironman Canada, which took place in Penticton, B.C. on Aug. 29.

The ironman consists of a four-kilometre swim, a 180-km bike ride and a 42-km run.

Abols will be hosting a dinner banquet in order to inform friends about his accomplishments and to raise funds for the Hawaii trip, since he is completely self-funded.

The evening will feature homemade lasagna dinner and a video presentation. The banquet starts at 5:30 pm and takes place on Monday, Oct. 4 at 184 Ninth Avenue in Lively.

Anyone interested in sending best wishes and/or a donation can do so by mailing it to 41 Nepahwin Avenue, Sudbury, ON, P3E 2H5.
