Feelgood story of the day.  Rotarian Jim Scott competed in the Cozumel Iron Man to raise money for Belizean kids.  Thanks, Rotary!

 

"The kids and staff of Dorothy Menzies Child Care Centre said 'Good bye and God speed,' as Jim Scott left Tuesday, November 20, 2012 to make final preparations for Sunday, November 25, 2012.  That day was Rotarian Jim Scott's 50th birthday.  With the support of his family and staff at the Radisson Hotel Fort George and Marina, Jim worked all year in preparation to compete for the first time in the Iron Man Triathlon Competition Cozumel, 2012.  Serving as Radisson's CEO, supporting family and maintaining leadership in several community endeavors, Jim entered into grueling and very disciplined training in order to compete, on his birthday to raise funds for much needed upgrades to the Dorothy Menzies Child Care facility.  The Rotary Club of Belize made a commitment to match and the donations, large and small pledges started rolling in."
