What is 7 on 6 in 5? 7 Ironman triathlon events on 6 continents in 5 years, while raising $432, 000 for amputee and paraplegic athletes. (Each Ironman triathlon event consists of a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike and a 26.2 mile run)
Why? It has never been done.
“Everyone on this earth should do something that has never been done before”. By accomplishing something that has never been done before, the assets of humanity are increased and the answer to the question “what is possible?” is expanded.
Where do you currently stand on this quest?
I've completed 7 Ironman events on 4 continents in a little over 3 years and have raised over $161,000. The continents that have been covered are North America (California), Europe (Switzerland), Australia (New Zealand) and South America (Brazil). The remaining continents are Africa and Asia.
Note: If there is a specific business goal of your company, I could do any event around the world as part of the “7 on 6 in 5”. Other location opportunities include: Canada, Austria, Germany, Australia, Lanzarote (Spain), Wisconsin, Utah, Lake Placid and Florida.
How does your company Benefit?
By providing the opportunity for challenged athletes to pursue their dreams, limits are destroyed and the triumph of the human spirit is advanced. In addition, your company would benefit by using the ‘7 on 6 in 5’ event as part of its marketing, advertising, public relations, press relations, community relations and government relations programs. The event has international appeal and specific international applications and very visual media opportunities.
Can your company direct donations to another charity?
Yes. Several charities could be the beneficiary of your company’s donation. Challenged Athletes Foundation was chosen as the primary recipient because of past fundraising success and the very visual media opportunities that exist. Challenged Athletes, young and old, male and female, can be available for your press conferences to announce your involvement in ‘7 on 6 in 5’. If for public, community or government relations, you feel that, for example, funding an orphanage in Chile or Peru best meets a specific your company goal, then I will rally around your cause.
Can you give an example on how ‘7 on 6 in 5’ can be integrated into your company’s business strategy?
Sure. Let us imagine your company wants to open a new market in Asia, we would work together to promote your company’s significant charity involvement, setting up media events in the Asian country and in the USA
Many foreign governments want a company that they are going to grant access to their marketplace to have demonstrated their commitment to being a partner in the community. ‘7 on 6 in 5’ allows the broadcast media to get an interesting visual. ‘7 on 6 in 5’ provides a platform for your company to tell their story of philanthropy and charity and good citizenship to the desired target market.
A custom designed program to fulfill your company’s business objectives will be developed each year. The remaining continents of Asia, Africa and South America, are all high growth business markets. As stated above, I would even repeat a continent if that worked best to fulfill a business objective.
