About Us

Our Beginnings

My name is Greg Simony and I started Care2Tri because I always felt as though I was an underdog and I wanted to help others that were also treated the same way. Many of the people that I have had the privilege of meeting and racing with often are treated as outcasts and as different. I am a firm believer that all people have disabilities. However, society feels it’s ok to look differently at those with an obvious physical disability. I learned early on that the differently-abled people are in fact that, people. They have feelings and thoughts and great insight that they can share. The problem is that many people do not listen and do not take the time to get to know these people. It is my undying passion to create a sense of equality and help steer the views of mainstream society to one of acceptance and inclusion.

What We Believe

We believe in  helping those that are often treated differently because of their physical disabilities by promoting these individuals in our community and also including them in opportunities that mainstream society normally would not. Our motto is, “We all have disabilities; however, some people’s are not physical”.

It is not right to treat differently-abled people as outcasts because their disabilities are visible. We are part of a movement that is larger than any one person, but we feel it needs to start somewhere. We hope to leave an imprint on society that encourages all to treat differently-abled individuals as people, because that’s what they are.

What We Do

Care2Tri advocates for differently-abled individuals by promoting their inclusion in activities that they often are excluded from. We typically accomplish this through helping them compete in running races and triathlons.
