Hello!
My name is Chantam Duong and I am the race director for the Run For The Bikes 5K fun run (RFTB). I've been fortunate enough to have a great family, coaches, and friends allowing me to grow mentally and physically as an athlete and an individual. I have been the athlete as well as an assistant coach, coaching youth in the sport of triathlon. As a current student at The University of Texas at Austin, I have found my passion for giving back to the community. More specifically, I aim to give back to the youth in the community, allowing them to have endless opportunities to grow as an individual with an active mindset; similar to one I was fortunate enough to have.
With some experience in the sport of running and triathlon from daily practices to weekly races, I found an opportunity to turn the tables around and be on the event organizing side of the sport!
I am hosting the Run for the Bikes 5K fun run to fundraise for the Bikes for Goodness Sake Charity. This is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization, co-founded by the owner of Buck's Bikes, with a mission to share the Goodness of Bicycles with underprivileged children in the local area. http://bikesforgoodnesssake.org With the same intent in mind, my goal is to donate the profit of the Run for the Bikes 5k to this charity where a RFTB Team will physically build the bikes we plan to distribute to the children chosen by the organization.
I hope to impact these children by starting with a bicycle and give them a chance to unravel new opportunities.
Sincerely,
Chantam
