—ABOUT T4K—

Listen to Chris and Tony talk about Tri4Kids on the Michigan Runner Girl podcast!

My name is Chris Girrbach and I’m a local business owner in Traverse City. I have embarked on a 15-20 year journey to help raise awareness and funding for Big Brothers Big Sisters (Bigs). I am going to participate in 50 triathlons or duathlons in 50 states and my plan is to complete 3-4 per year. My first official triathlon was in 2020 and I have conquered 6 more since with my next 2 Triathlons coming up in May of 2024!

I’ve learned a lot about Bigs over the past several years, and the many challenges and heartaches the children in this program face.  I wanted to do my part to help Bigs the best way I know how.  Some kids get the short end of the stick, and Bigs makes a world of difference to those kids, so it’s the least I can do.

I hope you will support me be pledging a dollar amount for each Triathlon I complete. Click here for more details.

I was inspired by Tony Anderson, who ran 51 marathons in 50 states to support Bigs.  Tony completed his last marathon in May, 2020.  

I realize this is a 15-20 year commitment and I’m up for the challenge…LEARN MORE ABOUT CHRIS

HOW CAN I SUPPORT?

The easiest way to support me in this undertaking is to join the Tri4Kids club. As a Member, you will make a charitable donation of $25.00 to each Triathlon I complete. No need to keep track, we will email you when I complete a Triathlon with a link for you to make your donation.

In return for your donation, you will receive swag and bragging rights, but more importantly, you will know that you have helped Big Brothers Big Sisters match more children in our community with a caring, adult mentor that has the power to change a child’s ending.

To sign up for the Tri4Kids Club, complete the form below and a representative from Big Brothers Big Sisters will contact you to review your payment options and answer any questions you may have.
