Hi, I’m Bri Ungania, and I’ll be racing in the Ironman 70.3 in North Carolina (consists of a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and a 13.1 mile run) in honor of my incredible younger cousin, Riley Rose MacConnie, who has grown to be like a younger sister to me.

Born on May 28, 2021, with Tetralogy of Fallot and pulmonary atresia, Riley has undergone multiple life-saving surgeries and spent 15 months in the ICU.

Despite everything she has been through, she continues to shine with her contagious smile and unbreakable spirit. Riley proves to me everyday that all hardships are worth fighting for, with a smile. She is truly the biggest inspiration I could ever ask for in this world.

I chose to have my goal set at $4,000, as Riley has made amazing strides in her first 4 years of her life and is continuing to get stronger each day.

My family is forever grateful to the medical professionals and researchers fighting for children like Riley. With your help, we can support the research that gives families like hers hope.

Please consider making a donation to Racing For Riley's funding page. Together, we can fund the breakthroughs that change lives and make a life-saving difference to kids just like Ry!
