Race Vision The vision for the RyanMan foundation is to bring together the regional community of multisport athletes to support the battle against childhood cancer. The vision and support for the RyanMan foundation will continue to grow with the increasing community of multi-sport athletes and their supporters in Mississippi. RyanMan triathlon continues to be the premiere long-distance race in MS as well as a destination race for athletes outside the metro Jackson area. As a sponsor your company will not only be prominently displayed in the only long-distance triathlon in Mississippi, you will also be supporting the states only children s hospital. Foundation Mission The RyanMan Foundation was founded in 2014 with the mission to improve the quality of life for children and their family as they continue the fight against childhood cancer within the State of Mississippi. The foundation was established in honor of Ryan LaSource, who at the time had been battling Leukemia since 6-months of age. Sadly, Ryan lost his battle at the age of 3 on June 3, 2016. The RyanMan Foundation continues in his memory, is committed to supporting this fight, and organizes the RyanMan Triathlon as one platform for raising money to support this mission. In 2017, the foundation donated $30,000 to Batson s Children s Hospital, bringing the total donated to $82,000. For 2018 the beneficiary of the race will once again be Batson Children s Hospital. With your help, 2018 will be a bigger and better year!
