As many of you know, we had a tragic loss at one of our triathlons this summer. The racing world, a very special family, and a whole community lost a wonderful man. Shelburne Health & Fitness and RaceVermont.com would like to help Stephen Mount’s family by raising money for the Mount Family Education Trust which will be used to send Stephen and Karen Mount’s 3 beautiful children to college one day (daughter Brittany is currently a senior in high school and will be starting college in the fall of 2012 and twins Jacob and Ryan will be going in a few years).

Thanks to the generosity of the New England Patriots, Rob Gronkowski, and Sam Usen, we recently raffled an autographed New England Patriots calendar for the benefit of this fund. Stay tuned for another fund raiser in 2012. In the meantime, to make a donation, please send a check to “Mount Family Education Trust”, c/o Fran and Dave Mount (Stephen’s parents) at 325 South Union, Burlington, VT 05401.

Thank you for helping us help the Mount family.
