This is not a time to compete, but to band together to support one another. The fear and anxiety surrounding COVID-19 is real and understandable, and of course, we do not purport to have many answers. Like other self-employed people in the economy, professional triathletes have found themselves unemployed and dealing with financial uncertainty.\u00a0As previously announced, the PTO was able to provide some assistance in these circumstances by paying out $2,500,000 to 200 professional triathletes. In response to the PTO\u2019s action in helping athletes, the professionals wanted to find a way to use their talents and expertise to help others. To add a triathlon spin to an old saying,\u00a0<em>\u2018When life gives you aid, make an aid station.\u2019\u00a0<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p >Tim O\u2019Donnell, Co-President of the PTO said: \u201cSport has a unique power to unite and inspire people, as professionals we have traditionally done this through our racing. However, with the season on hold, we have realised that we can do more. Through the\u00a0<em>PTO Hub<\/em>\u00a0we have come together to volunteer our expertise and experience in an effort to unite and inspire in a new and unique way.
