If you intend to race you don’t need to do anything further, you are registered and all set for race day.

CHARITY
Tri for the Cure AZ is very excited to have our fundraising in 2020 going to Don’t be a Chump! Check for a Lump! In 2009, at the young age of 39, Holly Rose was diagnosed with breast cancer and she decided she wanted to help other women going through the same journey to fight!!
Check them out at https://www.checkforalump.org
The Don’t be a Chump! Check for a Lump! mission is to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer through education, prevention, and direct assistance with free wigs and mammograms. As of 2018 they have assisted over 1222 women with a custom wig.
Please join us in welcoming Don’t be a Chump! Check for a Lump! and Holly’s team to our T4C crew
