Employees, students, and the public are invited to cheer for and compete with more than 1,000 physically challenged and able-bodied athletes at the 12th annual LLUH PossAbilities Triathlon on Sunday, April 27. The triathlon begins at 7:00 a.m. at the Drayson Center.
The event promises family fun—including a total prize payout of $6,000 at the triathlon. To register, visit www.active.com and search for PossAbilities Triathlon.
The PossAbilities Triathlon is presented by the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, who will be presenting a sponsor’s check for $200,000 at the event. It includes a 5K run/walk/roll, a kid’s triathlon, and an adult triathlon with physically challenged athletes competing alongside able-bodied athletes.
This year’s event features popular entertainers Judy and David, award-winning stars of TV and stage known as “Canada’s Sing Along Superstars.” At 10:00 a.m. following the kids’ race, the duo will perform “JiggiJump,” an energetic combination of music, movement, and narrative adventure that inspires children to be physically active.
“We’re excited about the 12th edition of the LLUH PossAbilities Triathlon, which keeps growing every year and is becoming a must-attend event for our physically challenged and able-bodied athletes and friends,” says PossAbilities director Pedro Payne.
“We’re also excited to power up the entertainment portion of the event with the appearance of Judy and David, whose live concert tours have inspired hundreds of thousands of schoolchildren to JiggiJump,” he said.
The annual PossAbilities Triathlon raises funds for PossAbilities, a community outreach program developed by Loma Linda University Medical Center East Campus and supported by founding partner the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and event sponsors Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) and Molina Healthcare. PossAbilities’ goal is to offer physically challenged people born with or who have permanent physical challenges a sense of community by offering activities and practical help.
