Hi Larry! A ShelterBox Volunteer Does Ironman!

Larry, our volunteers are an amazing bunch. YiShun Lai, our Response Team member from White Plains, New York, has been training not only to accompany ShelterBox aid to disaster zones, but to take part in Ironman Switzerland! YiShun will be leaving on July 8th to swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, and run 26.2 miles--all within 16 hours and with ShelterBox in mind! Wow! In honor of this feat, YiShun has raised funds to sponsor two ShelterBoxes to help 20 disaster survivors for 6 months or more. Check out her campaign page here: http://www.firstgiving.com/yishunSRT. Heck, she's on a roll... maybe she'll raise three or four boxes!

Larry, YiShun is just one of the amazing people you'll be hearing from shortly, asking you to invite ShelterBox onto your show. How can you turn her down? Please give us the opportunity to share ShelterBox stories with you and the nation on Larry King Live.
