With the tragic earthquake hitting Haiti it makes everyone in the world want to lend a hand for those in need. Many of you have probably given to those in need already but we all have an opportunity to give more! The Midwest Mayhem Triathlon, Jackson County Triathlon and Midwest Meltdown Triathlon has partnered with a very giving charitable organization called the Global Orphan Project. For 2010 and beyond we will be working hand-in-hand with Global Orphan Project on relief projects in Haiti. After speaking with Cycle City owner, triathlete and event sponsor Joe Fox we discovered there will be a run/walk held on May 8th in Parkville, Missouri called Go Project Run to benefit those in Haiti. Joe stated “All of the details are being put together as we speak and we’ll be sure to fill you in very soon, we’ve been very busy coordinating our current trip to Haiti.”

The Global Orphan Project team of four is headed to Haiti on the morning of January 19th from KCI. The group will be taking 300 pounds of baby formula, medical supplies, anti-biotics and clothing donated by the Midwest Mayhem Triathlon, Jackson County Triathlon and Midwest Meltdown Triathlon. The group includes Rob Boyer, Mike Helmuth, Beth Fox and Joe Fox owner of Cycle City. They will be meeting with 6 others who have been on ground in Haiti for 5 days, including C3 founder Mike Fox, and Executive Director Joe Knittig.

Above and beyond The Global Orphan Project, there are some amazing folks who are stepping up in great ways to help: Ed Barber and a Buckhead church team from Atlanta are filling a 20ft container full of tents, tools, clothing, medical supplies and baby formula that will ship out of Miami on Wednesday, January 20th and arrive in the Dominican Republic on Saturday, January 23rd.
If you would like to donate anything that would be of assistance please visit www.theglobalorphanproject.com for more information. There is an immediate need for medical supplies and baby formula. Thanks for lending a helping hand!
