My NYC TRI Challenge |
|
SWIM, BIKE, RUN...GIVE BACK! |
|
This Sunday, I will be competing in the NYC Triathlon in support of Giveback Homes, a community of real estate professionals who are committed to creating social change by helping build homes for deserving families around the globe. In the fall of 2021, I traveled to El Salvador with a small group of Compass agents to help build(from the ground up) homes for families in communities who are living in poverty. |
 |
|
I am competing to raise funds to continue to build adequate shelter for these families and improve living conditions in these communities. Last call before I hit the water and pavement. If you're interested in contributing, click here: GoFundMe Fundraiser Page and donate. 100% of your contributions go directly to Build Projects In Central and North America. |
