Short Takes
Team Tri for Hospice: "Caring to the Finish!"
cycling 3,069 miles from
Oceanside, CA to Annapolis, MD,
in 7 days, 16 hours and 53 minutes.
Between June 18 and June 26, they
raced through 12 states to raise
money and awareness for hospice.
They finished fourth in the FourPerson Mixed (Under 50) category.
Team Tri for Hospice's "Race
Across America" initiative has seen
sponsors, donors and supporters
contribute $40,000 to date - and
fundraising efforts continue.

Karen Buxton has been a
professional coach for over 25 years
and has specialized in working
with endurance athletes for the
past 15. In 2011 Hospice and
Palliative Care of Greensboro
helped Buxton care for her brother,
Jeffrey, in her home during the last
10 weeks of his life. He died at 54,
following a ten-year battle with
colon cancer.
Buxton soon discovered that she
had a number of triathlon training
partners who had also been
touched by hospice; and they
decided to use their passion for the
sport as an ongoing vehicle to
support the vital community
service of hospice care. With that
in mind, Buxton started the charity
Tri for Hospice in 2012.

That first year the team of athletes,
Team Tri for Hospice, dedicated
efforts to the NYC Ironman and
raised over $34,000. Over the past
four years, Tri for Hospice has
raised over $75,000 for Hospice and
Palliative Care of Greensboro
Team Tri for Hospice is made up of
Karen Buxton, Charles Fields, Chip
Harris, and Becky Sage. Hospice
recently helped Becky Sage's father
and mother-in-law in their final
stages of life. Charles Fields and
Chip Harris, both medical
professionals, have seen hospice
help their patients and families and
have also been touched by hospice
in their own families.
This summer, Team Tri for Hospice
completed the 35th edition of the
"Race Across America - the
World's Toughest Bicycle Race"
