MILES FOR ANN FUND
Carrying Forward a Legacy of Love, Inclusion, and Miles of Triumph
For many years, Ann Seidl and her son Parker were a radiant presence at the Eau Claire Marathon and in the broader myTEAM TRIUMPH family. Team Parker ran side by side — an unstoppable duo who showed what it truly means to move with love. With Parker having Down Syndrome Ann became his one and only Angel, but she became so much more to all of us — a friend, a mentor, and a light in our running community.
To honor Ann’s heart, her commitment to inclusion, and her unwavering spirit, we are proud to introduce The Miles for Ann Fund.
What this fund will cover?
The full cost for first-time myTEAM TRIUMPH Angel participants - Angels are able-bodied volunteers for their Captain Athlete (participant with any variety of disability)
So others may experience the same joy and purpose that Ann and Parker shared so generously with others.
Ann believed deeply in the mission of myTEAM TRIUMPH. She welcomed new faces, cheered loudly, connected deeply, and always made people feel like they belonged. Her legacy is not just about the miles she ran — it's about the lives she changed. Through this fund, her impact will continue to ripple out and open doors for many more to join the mTT family.
Become One of Parker’s Angels
Everyone who donates to the Miles for Ann Fund will be remembered as one of Parker’s Angels — in tribute to Ann, who was his very first Angel. Together, Parker and Ann built a legacy of inclusion and boundless love. Now, you can be part of continuing that mission — helping others experience their first race, their first finish line, and their first moment of belonging in the mTT community.
As one friend shared,
"Ann was a wonderful example of a mother’s love and will be greatly missed. Parker, the running community is here for you."
This fund isn't just about raising money. It’s about carrying forward the love Ann shared, the lives she touched, and the joy she brought to every single mile.
Join us in celebrating Ann’s legacy by making a gift that will help others take their first step with us — just as Ann would have wanted.
