Brad Derthick, Erie, CO—Brad Derthick passed away recently, leaving the community in deep sorrow. Brad was known for his incredible dedication to running, triathlons, and maintaining an active lifestyle. Over his lifetime, he competed in 14 marathons, nearly 200 running races, and completed approximately 100 triathlons, including four half Ironman races.
His passing has left a significant void in the lives of those who knew him, including his close friends Rob Renegar and Jen Sterling, who have organized a fundraiser in his memory. The fundraiser aims to raise $4,300, symbolizing one dollar for every mile Brad put on his wheelchair in the past five years. The funds will be used to help individuals who wish to participate in races or competitions but are financially constrained.
The money raised will be entrusted to Eileen, Spencer, and Shannon, who will ensure it helps aspiring athletes cover entry fees and equipment costs for events ranging from local 5k races to Ironman competitions. As of now, the goal is to see how much more than the initial target of $4,300 can be raised in Brad’s name.
Brad’s legacy of perseverance and passion for sports will continue to inspire many. His memory will be honored by providing opportunities for others to experience the joy and challenge of athletic competitions.
We are deeply saddened to learn of Brad Derthick’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.
