Each year, more than 86,000 athletes compete in IRONMAN events throughout North America and many of these athletes are racing as a result of being touched by something bigger than themselves. Whether it is a battle with cancer, the loss of a loved one or surviving a tragedy such as 9/11, many IRONMAN athletes are racing to demonstrate that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
Since 2011, IRONMAN athletes have raised over 4 million dollars to support charities which they feel passionately about through the Your Journey, Your Cause program. Through this initiative, athletes are able to fundraise for their own unique cause, without a fundraising minimum- allowing for each athlete to raise as little or as much as they are able to make a meaningful contribution.
