Jessica Baxter's Fundraiser:

Women are constantly battling insecurities and low self-esteem. To build self-confidence we must do two things: change our beliefs that we are good enough and change what we define as success. These beliefs are what create emotions of insecurity and fear. How do we overcome these feelings? By changing our logic of what defines these beliefs.

Triathlon has helped myself and thousands of women redefine that logic and give us confidence and redefine our self-worth. We are all born in different shapes and sizes. You can be supermodel skinny and unhealthy or curvier and completely healthy. True beauty and good health is defined by good exercise, proper nutrition, and a positive self-image. I became a Certified L1 Metabolic Efficiency Specialist and IRONMAN Certified Coach to help one person at a time overcome these negative self beliefs. Raising money for Women for Tri allows me to reach women on a broader scale through scholarships and grants. 

The Women For Tri mission is simple: To identify and diminish primary barriers to entry, and mobilize triathlon advocates to encourage and engage female athletes across all distances and representing all athletic abilities.

Women For Tri embodies the heart and soul of what makes the sport so rewarding: testing your ability, overcoming challenges, and realizing the full depth of your potential in the most widely recognized test of endurance – triathlon.
