Who are the triathletes behind Team Molly Bear? Team Molly Bear are regular folks just like you.  Brought together by one committed dad, Sean Brown of Hightstown, NJ after his daughter, Molly Elizabeth Brown, was prenatally diagnosed with Trisomy 18 in March of 2006.   In 2007, the Team raised $22,000 participating in the NJ State Triathlon.  This year their goal is higher yet!  The 2008 Team has expanded to 8 members and they are well on their way to topping last year's total.    Make your GOLD, SILVER, OR BRONZE pledge today and help them reach their goal of $60,000 and finish the race. Sadly, Molly passed away this March at nineteen months of age.  Team Molly Bear will continue to compete in her memory - in tribute to her and all of the other children diagnosed with Trisomy 18. Cheer the triathletes by sending a message for Team Molly Bear members.
