Congratulations to James and his guide Jonathan for competing at the Cal Tri race weekend in Lake Norman, NC, this weekend! 🏅

James hit a huge milestone on Saturday in Arizona, completing his 100th triathlon with his guide Paul at the 25th Annual Anthem Holiday Classic Sprint Triathlon. What an accomplishment! 🎉💯

🌎 Join Para Guide and hundreds of local organizations as we come together for - a movement to Love Local, Give Local. It’s Giving Tuesday - and we’re counting on YOU!

🚲 Para Guide Foundation needs your support so that we can reach our goal of raising $1,000 to provide maintenance for 10 tandem bicycles that are used for children and adults who are blind and visually impaired! Even a $10 donation can provide a tube for a tire so that these individuals can ride outside.

🎁 Give via paraguide.org.

🤝 There are many ways you can help Para Guide and the blind/visually impaired athletes that we support - consider asking your employer to match your donation and/or consider becoming a monthly donor - even $5 per month makes a difference!

❤️ With gratitude, we thank you for your support and for being part of this incredible movement.

What an incredible Blind Sports Day! 💥

On Saturday, Para Guide partnered with Mecklenburg Park and Recreation and the Metrolina Association for the Blind for a fantastic event at the Marion Diehl Recreation Center in Charlotte, NC!

Athletes with visual impairments, both youth and adults, participated in a variety of fun activities, including tandem cycling and tethered running!

We are honored to support each athlete that showed up and contributed to the community spirit throughout the day. Thank you to all of the participants, pilots, guides, volunteers, and supporters who made this event possible!

James and his guide Paul were all set to race in the 2025 USA Triathlon Sprint Distance Para National Championships in Milwaukee this past Sunday - a race that would have marked James’ 100th triathlon 🏅

Mother Nature had other plans. ⛈️ Due to a severe storm, the event was cancelled. While we’re disappointed, we know the safety and well-being of Milwaukee’s residents had to come first during this challenging time.

We’ll be back next year, ready to chase milestones all over again. 💪
