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.
