The Getting2Tri Foundation, Inc.:

The Getting2Tri Foundation believes that individuals with a disability deserve the inspiration, support and opportunity to participate in athletic endeavors that promote healthy, active lifestyles. Our mission is to provide services and programs through the sports of swimming, cycling, and running to align physically challenged individuals, now called "paratriathletes", with their athletic pursuits, create communities for knowledge sharing, and reduce the perceived barriers between people.

While G2T works with physically-challenged athletes throughout the country and at every fitness level, from beginner to elite, the organization also includes able-bodied athletes who serve as coaches, mentors, and partners. For those without a physical disability, G2T brings a purpose to participation in sports.  And for those who have a disability, G2T offers the guidance and support needed to achieve their athletic goals, whether it’s completing a single event as part of a relay team, or crossing the finish line at an Ironman triathlon.

The 2010 focus areas include the following:

• Execution of the National ParaTriathlete Training Camp (Atlanta, GA, March 18-20, 2010)
• Delivery of the G2T Online Resource Center
• Initial Planning for the G2T Sports Institute
