Thank You to a CHAMPION

Martin Franklin, CEO of Jarden Corporation and OneFamily board member, recently participated for the second time in the Iron Man Triathlon in Hawaii. He raised half a million dollars in sponsorships.His wife Julie wrote to us:

 

Dear OneFamily:

Thank you for thinking of us, for your good wishes and the beautiful flowers. Martin finished in under 11 hours, beating his previous time by 50 minutes. He was totally motivated and pushed quite hard. The boys ran with him and encouraged him along the way. It is a testament to his iron will and dedication to a beautiful cause. Martin was given a $4000 challenge to do a cartwheel at the end of the race. After nearly 11 hours of racing I thought it was an unrealistic option, but right at the finish he raised his hands, did the cartwheel and said, "This is for you, OneFamily." We are thrilled to be part of OneFamily. It looks like he will have raised half a million dollars again!!! We hope to bring the kids again in the spring and do something special. It was such a meaningful visit the last time and we know it will be again!! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to make a difference in peoples live's.

Love and best wishes,
Julie Franklin & family
