Retirement Project and Fundraising

 I have been very busy since I retired a little over a year ago. I started two online business projects with more to come.  I started an online publishing venture and have been at it for a little over a year.

I’ve published low-content books on Amazon. To find one of the books do a search on Christine L. Wodke and the type of book. These books are 150 pages and 6 x 9 inches. I currently have about 3600 books in my inventory.  I add new titles every week. The price of each book is $6.99.

The profits from the books in the fourth quarter of 2022 will go toward my $1000 fundraising goal for USA Triathlon.  To find any of these books do a search on Amazon with Christine L. Wodke and the book category.  I add new categories all the time so if you have a book you are interested in, do a search on that name.

Powerful Women of Triathlon

 

I did an interview with USA triathlon more than a year ago.  It was part of a series of interviews with three different athletes called "Powerful Women of Triathlon".  The series included authors and athletes Melisa Stockwell and Sue Reynolds.  All three of us are also USA Triathlon Foundation Ambassadors.

I have met both of these women. Melissa is a para-athlete and founder of Dare 2 Tri, a Chicago-based group that works with physically challenged athletes. I have been to a few of their events and see Melissa at para-triathlon events. Melissa is a veteran who was injured in Iraq and is a Paralympian and World Champion.

Sue Reynolds wrote a book about her weight loss of over 200lbs and her journey to become an athlete. I've met Sue at age group nationals in Milwaukee and at Leon's Triathlon in Hammond Indiana.  Sue has donated profits from her book to USA Triathlon Foundation to help para-athletes like me.

The airing of the interview was delayed due to the Olympics and then the interviewer moved on to another position. I did a search on YouTube a few days ago and found it. So that is why I am late getting it out to social media. I hope you will check it out. The link is:

or you can do a search using my name and USAT.

I am very grateful to USAT for all of the support they have given me as an athlete.  They are the only sports body that offers a physically challenged category at every sanctioned race. They have given me the chance to compete at national championships as physically challenged athletes and they give me opportunities such as the interview and being part of their ambassador program.

I fundraise for them as a way of giving back. My goal is $1000. To contribute go to:
