Deloitte is proud to sponsor Dare2tri

Karen Sternfeld is a recreational Dare2tri athlete. In high school and college, she was a three-season runner. However, in 1993, as a college senior, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Athletics did not return to her life until years later when she discovered a passion for swimming. Around 2015, she joined Dare2tri for weekly training practices to improve her swimming skills and learn how to use a hand bike and racing chair. In 2019, she participated in the Chicago Triathlon, and in 2020 she completed the #ChiTriVirtual race. Karen has a therapy/service dog and lives with her wife in Chicago.

Tom Giannettino is a retired law enforcement officer who served 21 years in the Air Force. He suffered an injury in the line of duty that left his arm impaired. In 2013, he attended his first paratriathlon camp with Dare2tri and has been heavily involved with the organization ever since. He is a former Dare2tri Elite Team member who has competed on the International Triathlon Union circuit. Today, he is a USAT Level 1 Certified Coach. As a coach and mentor, he has worked with a wide range of people, from collegiate athletes to veterans suffering from depression.

Ashley Eisenmenger is a Dare2tri Elite Team Member who resides in Chicago and has competed on the national level for several years. Blind since birth, she was a member of the North Central College Triathlon Team, where she competed as the first NCAA triathlete with a disability that required sport-specific accommodations. Ashley advocates for inclusion of people with disabilities.

The DEI is a unique, joint initiative of Disability:IN and the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD). This evolving index objectively scores each corporation on a scale from zero to 100—100 representing the most inclusive.
