Triathletes for Africa

Chad Nikazy has been a friend of mine for about four years now. Perhaps that's why it's been so difficult for me to write this post. I've been trying to express just how excited I am about what he's doing without sounding goofy or fake.

Chad has combined his love of triathlons with his desire to make an impact in the world, particularly in Africa. Earlier this year he founded Triathletes for Africa. He goes to the many and various races that he would normally be at anyhow (and quite a few others) and collects lightly used shoes from spectators and athletes. These shoes are then taken to Africa and distributed by different NGOs. It's a simple solution to a huge problem, and I love it.

Be sure to drop by www.triforafrica.com and find out how you can get involved.

Oh! So anyhow, I got to shoot some promo shots for Chad and the organization. We also did some shots of him training for the various publications that he's trying to get some attention from. They like to see that sort of thing so they know he really DOES do what he claims.
