ST friends,
I'm making an appeal to the community in hopes of helping an athlete out. Eucadoran Silvio Guerra needs to pay for lodging for Kona. He lands Oct 6 and leaves Oct 15 (that's when he was able to get the cheapest flights). He has a very limited budget, and has made it this far on string and spit. He paid for the flight on a prayer. I've set up a GoFundMe page here:
https://www.gofundme.com/...vio-guerra-race-kona
This guy is fast as heck. He has run sub 2:15 marathons, and in the day took 2nd overall at Boston and Chicago. He still holds the Eucador marathon record from the Chicago run. You can read more about his athletic career here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvio_Guerra
Silvio is an all round good guy. He gives back to Eucador by bringing running shoes to kids that want to race, and clothing for families.
Silvio qualified for Kona at Santa Rosa. He won it on a clunky bike. I can't imagine what he would do on a decent tri bike. If anyone in Kona can loan even a P2 for this guy to use (he's 5'4") it would be a huge improvement over what he has now.
Thanks for considering this.
No coasting in running and no crying in baseball
