HILTON HEAD ISLAND<br />
Ms. Patty D’Anna | Blythewood,SC<br />
My name is Patty D'Anna, I'm a 50 year old triathlete, from Blythewood,SC. My husband and I<br />
shared our own business, Castle Automatic Sprinkler Company, a fire protection contractor. I've<br />
been doing triathlons for about the last 5 years, my husband has been involved with triathlons for<br />
the last 30 years. I FULLY support <strong>Hilton</strong> <strong>Head</strong> <strong>Island</strong> for hosting a ironman. I would love for my<br />
money to go to the support <strong>of</strong> a local town in SC! Please bring the ironman to <strong>Hilton</strong> <strong>Head</strong> <strong>Island</strong>.<br />
Ms. Candace Johnson | Charleston, SC<br />
My name is Candice Johnson. I am a Commissioned Lay Minister in the North American<br />
Lutheran Church and live a few miles north <strong>of</strong> Charleston, SC. My sons and husband are all<br />
triathletes (and I enjoy participating in sprint triathlons).<br />
Three <strong>of</strong> my friends are Ironman finishers. I strongly support hosting Ironman <strong>Hilton</strong> <strong>Head</strong> <strong>Island</strong>.<br />
The positive impact this event would have on the community is beyond measure. As a property<br />
owner on <strong>Hilton</strong> <strong>Head</strong>, I see great potential in revenue for the island — not only in the hospitality<br />
industry, but also in exposing our area to potential real estate buyers. In addition, I support Ironman<br />
coming to <strong>Hilton</strong> <strong>Head</strong> because <strong>of</strong> their track record for charitable donations to local not-forpr<strong>of</strong>it<br />
organizations. Giving beyond self is contagious, and I envision the example set by Ironman<br />
to be something that will not only help the agencies and organizations to which they contribute,<br />
but will also encourage and inspire others to do the same. I look forward to the opportunity to<br />
volunteer my time and services in whatever ways would be helpful to make this event a success<br />
for our community and for the participating athletes.<br />
Mr. Brian Johnson | Charlotte, NC<br />
I want to express my support for a 2014 Ironman HHI as proposed by On On Tri. I have participated<br />
in many <strong>of</strong> the triathlons on HHI along with several road races on the island. In 1996 my<br />
family purchased a property on Folly Field Road and over the past 17 years we have loved<br />
spending time on the island with family and friends. In 2011, I had the opportunity to support<br />
one <strong>of</strong> these friends as he completed Ironman Florida. I can say that the Ironman event is a truly<br />
life changing event, not only for the participants but also those in support. I cannot imagine the<br />
positive impact that would result from hosting a wonderful global event such as an Ironman. I<br />
know On On Tri has spoken to the immediate weekly monetary impact that would result from<br />
hosting this event, in addition I believe once people get to the island and see what a treasure it<br />
is they will be more inclined to come back which would lead to a long term economic impact.<br />
Since I live in Charlotte, I will not be able to attend any <strong>of</strong> the town council meetings. Please<br />
consider this another voice in support <strong>of</strong> Ironman HHI 2014 and someone who would be willing<br />
to volunteer to help with the race.<br />
