Deanna Hart
My interest in sports began 21 years ago. It started with 5k races supporting charity causes; the Avon 3-Day Walk for Breast Cancer, then running my first half-marathon in Las Vegas In 2001. This led to my first triathlon in Grand Haven.
I have worked in event management, coordination of volunteers and registration, sales and marketing. The love and passion I feel for the sport has led me to where I am today, timing for Race Services Company.
There is nothing like timing; the morning of a race, it's electrical. It is the same feeling you have when crossing the finish line at a race, exhilaration.
My full-time job as a Patient Navigator at a Cancer Institute allows me the same excitement knowing that I am helping those while they are going through a very difficult journey.
"If there is no passion in your life, then have you really lived? Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it, and let it become you and you will find great things happen FOR you, TO you and BECAUSE of you." –T. Alan Armstrong |
