Hello Hill Country Kids & Family Tri  Volunteers,

Thank you so much for volunteering!  You guys did an amazing job this year!  I am so appreciative of the time you gave this event.  See below for parent feedback and a link to race day photographs.  Also, see attached for volunteer and parent recommendations for next year.  Let me know if you have any additional suggestions. Enjoy!


See you next year volunteers:)  Mark your calendars: Saturday, July 16, 2016


Parent feedback:

Just wanted to thank you for a great and memorable event. Vera, my five year old needed an event like that. I had tears of joy watching her. Every dad should have moments looking at his little girl and think, "wow...she rocks."

Thanks for that,

Nick Lee

"Thank you and all of the volunteers so much. This was our second year for our daughter and the first for our son. The volunteers were really outstanding, helpful and fun. They are much appreciated by our family."

Great race as always. 
Jamie

I think it was a wonderful event. 
Kim

Thanks for putting on such a difficult race to host for the kids!   There were some great changes to the course this year and all.  I enjoyed on the bike course some of the volunteers and even one of the run volunteers on the top end of the hill.  They said some very encouraging words as you are a bit spent at this point.   :-)
Overall a great success so thank you for your heart and dedication to make this race happen.  You've impacted so many kid's lives by encouraging a healthy life style. 
Debbie

This was a great event! The volunteers did an awesome jobs at directing all the racers and making sure they knew where they needed to go, especially the little ones!

And lastly from the Hill Country Kids & Family Tri Race Director: 

Over the years of race directing many kids have made me smile or touched my heart with their amazing stories.  Last year I met Andrew who raced for his dad who was fighting cancer.  Our club helped Andrew train as he had never competed in a triathlon.  This year the Hill Country Kids & Family Tri helped Andrew (#75) cope with the loss of his dad.  The following message is from Andrew's mom.  See links below for video of Andrew's race and to donate:

"I wanted to thank you for sponsoring Andrew and Medullary Thyroid Cancer at this year's triathlon.  It was such an important event for Andrew, as he has truly been going through so much.  This has been a means to express his desire to help, for so long he has felt so helpless.  It is also a huge outlet for him and I think will try to get him to train for other triathlons.  My daughter, Olivia will be participating next year.  

I made this video.  It's simple, but it expresses Andrew.  This is his favorite song these days." 

Thanks again!
