Many of you don’t know Laurie Teper but all of that is about to change.

Laurie’s passion for running began in 1985 through short distance triathlons. She was hooked from the start and has competed in many events since then. Laurie has taken her love of running to the next level when in 2009 she served as the Co-Race Director for Bright Hope’s Run For Hungry Children in Woodstock.

This year Laurie is competing in the Ironman Wisconsin race on September 13th, 2009. She has been training for 8 months and did we mention she’s doing this at the young age of 52?

With her passion for running comes her connection to Bright Hope. All of the money raised (and her goal is $3,000!) will go to our 62 World Wide Projects. To access Laurie’s First giving page, you can click here to read more about Laurie or donate!
