Event Benefits Children at Georgetown Hospital

Landon School hosted the third annual Just TRYAN It children’s triathlon on June 17. The event raised more than $150,000 for the Georgetown University Hospital’s Hematology/Pediatrics Family Assistance Fund. Landon served as one of four Gold Sponsors for the 2012 triathlon.

More than 350 children ages 6-12 years participated in the event, which included swimming, biking and running components. The participants included eight Landon students:
Evan Gary ’21
William Gelb ’21
Graham Hertzberg ’21
Mark Kalavritinos ’20
Sean Polk ’21
Steven Samit ’20
Ethan Tun ’21
James Waldron ’20 

The mission of Just TRYAN It is to positively impact the lives of families whose children have been diagnosed with cancer by providing them with financial assistance. The organization’s President/Race Director is Carrie Norry, wife of Landon Middle School Head Doug Norry.
