We have another challenge, from the Janus Fund, to make Melissa Thomas the top fundraiser in the Lake Placid Triathlon, July 24, 2005. She is competing in honor of her father who has VHL, and to raise money for VHL research and education. Track her progress at www.vhl.org/ironwoman.

If Melissa is the top fundraiser, the Janus Fund will donate $10,000 for VHL research and education.
