Leslie Bull to compete in Ironman Competition

Leslie Bull will be participating in the April 2005 Ironman in Tempe, Arizona competition to raise money for the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation as part of the Janus Charity Challenge. Janus Capital Group has signed on to be the presenting sponsor of Ironman Arizona, the newest Ironman North America event set to take place on Sunday, April 9, 2005.For more information call Leslie at 408.245.9454. Leslie is competing in memory of her father who passed away on March 31, 2003. He had been diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis.

Over 200,000 individuals in the US are afflicted with IPF, and more than 40,000 die annually. There is currently no cure for pulmonary fibrosis. Treatment options are limited and usually ineffectual. The mission of the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation is to increase public awareness of the disease, provide support for patients and families and fund research.

An Ironman competition involves a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike-ride and a 26-mile run. Please support this incredible feat by making a contribution today!  If Leslie succeeds in being amongst the top fundraisers, the Janus Group will make an additional contribution – up to $10,000! Please send your donation to: Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation, 1440 W. Washington Blvd, Chicago, IL 60607 and indicate that the gift is in support of the Ironman Race.
