I have been working as a part-timer at Clarks Valley Fair Mall in Santa Clara since April 2009. I am currently pursuing my degree in International Business Management. When I joined the company, the team at Valley Fair was so proud of their accomplishment of raising the most dollars for Triangle in 2008. Now I am proud to be part of the Clarks team that won both contest categories in 2009 and 2010: total donations and percentage to sales .
One of my new year’s resolutions this year is to start losing weight. It's great that this opportunity came up because now I have an even better reason to work out and start shedding some pounds. I casually ride my bike at “bike parties” almost every month; however, I would like to ride competitively.I’m not in the best shape of my life, so for me to complete a part of a triathlon would be a significant thing.
A family close to me has a son that is autistic, and I have watched him grow up to be in his teenage years. I have seen some of the challenges that they go through and I can see how an organization like Triangle could help make a difference in their life. I'm doing the "Tri 4 Triangle" not only because I want to help out organizations that help people with disabilities but also because I want to start having some meaning in my life. I want to be able to say that I helped people.
Training for the biking part of the triathlon would give me the opportunity to accomplish two goals- lose weight and help raise money for people with disabilities.
Please support our efforts and help people with disabilities. Follow our stories and donate to Triangle Inc.

Way to go Mike. You'll be shedding those pounds soon enough! and all for a good cause!
Mike, you've already helped people by your great work on the Clarks Holiday Campaign. Thank you for taking it to the next level with the Triathlon!
Thanks Jeff! I just want to help out as much as I can. I believe in helping out people who are not as fortunate as I am.
That is such an inspiring testimony mike! :)
Thanks for the support! I will try my best to finish in a good time.
