We are launching an online membership drive to give more people an opportunity to join and support Team Ortho: The rapidly growing charity that promotes a healthy lifestyle for Every Body.
Why become a member?
1. To lead a healthy life. It is a fact that physical activity reduces the risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, childhood obesity, arthritis, bone and joint disease and other life threatening diseases. To lower these risks and keep you active, you can join a group of more than 4000 people from 30 countries who have participated in a Team Ortho event - such as the Monster Dash 5K run/walk, which will be held in four separate locations this October. You can meet other team members who will support and encourage you in your efforts to improve your life through participation in a road race, bike race, or a triathlon. You can train with one of Team Ortho’s training groups - now located in Minnesota, Oregon, Wisconsin and Virginia. And it doesn’t matter where you start -- Team Ortho truly welcomes Every Body.
2. Get Great Gear. When you sign up for Team Ortho you will receive a gift pack in July just for joining: socks, a visor, and either a jacket or backpack. Additionally, you will be eligible to receive discounts on other brand-name Team Ortho clothing, HED cycling products, and run/walk gear at Marathon Sports Run/Walk.
3. To give back. In 2006, with the support our members, sponsors, donors, and races, Team Ortho Foundation donated $18,000 to support bone, joint, spine and infection research at three orthopedic research organizations: The Minneapolis Medical Research Foundation, the Orthopedic Research and Education Foundation, and the Orthopedic Trauma Association Research Fund. Team Ortho also provides grants for amputee kids and adults to participate in Team Ortho events.
