In life, sometimes we are blessed enough to have friends that offer not only companionship, but also, inspiration. I grew up with one such person, Sarah Dance and I swam and played water polo together from the time we were youngsters until we left for college. We didnt just swim together, we ate more snow cones than all of Alaska combined, we spent the summers schooling the boys in ultimate frisbee, and she drove the car while I stood through her sunroof scoping out the roadway situation (dont ask).

There is nothing about Sarah that is average, she is the freaky product you get when some with natural talent works extremely hard. While in college she led Truman to the DII NCAA championship while maintaining a 4.0 GPA and volunteering at a hospital. It is no wonder ESPN named her the 2005 Academic All-American of the year.

Now in Medical School, she has embarked on another athletic persuit. Sarah will be racing the Philadelphia Triathlon on June 24th. Sarah will not be racing for herself, she will be racing on behalf of Emma, who was diagnosed with leukemia two years ago. Sarah is trying to raise $5,000 before the race. The money will go to finding a cure…so, check out the website, search your heart, and consider supporting one of our sisters in sport.
