Besides the personal challenge this Ironman brings, I felt it was important for me to do something for my community, so I am asking that you join Team DeCinti as we raise money to pay for breast cancer screening mammograms for the women of Robeson County, NC who desperately need them.

Working at Lumberton Radiological Associates and living here in Lumberton, I have learned a lot about the importance of women getting annual mammograms, especially those at high risk. I have also learned that only 37% of the women in Robeson County are getting screened. That percentage is very low compared to 79% for North Carolina and 77% for the U.S. Now some just don't do it, but most of them can not afford one, and that's where you come in.

Money raised will go in a fund and will be used to pay for mammograms (and in some cases more) for those women who need one but can not currently afford one or do not have insurance to pay for it. All money raised will stay right here in Robeson County. [learn more]

Four Levels of Sponsorship:
Note: As of 2/19/08 there has been a change to the Ironman Challenge Level of sponsorship. Please see the information below for an explanation.

Sprint Level, Olympic Level, Half-Ironman Level, and The Ironman Challenge. But please understand any and all donations are extremely appreciated.

They are named for the four different triathlon distances and obviously increase in value based on the length of the race. The Sprint, Olympic and Half-Ironman are a set price, but The Ironman Challenge will hopefully inspire you to give even more.
