At the Central Florida Tri Club, we believe in more than just training athletes—we believe in building a stronger, more compassionate community. Through our Roses of Care initiative, we aim to give back to those who are often overlooked, spreading love and kindness one rose at a time.
A Mission to Make a Difference
The Roses of Care initiative is part of my nonprofit foundation, which not only supports youth and neurodiverse athletes in their journey into the world of triathlon but also focuses on giving back to our community. Each month, we visit elderly homes to share roses and heartfelt moments with individuals who are sometimes forgotten.
This month, we had the privilege of visiting two facilities: Ambiance in Maitland and Village on the Green. It was an incredible experience to see the joy and gratitude on the faces of the residents as we handed out roses. These small gestures of care reminded us of the importance of connection and the power of community.
Why It Matters
For many elderly individuals, loneliness can be a daily challenge. By visiting these homes and sharing a simple yet meaningful gift—a rose—we aim to bring a little light into their lives. This initiative is about more than just flowers; it’s about showing them that they are valued, remembered, and loved.
How You Can Get Involved
We’re excited to continue this journey, visiting a new elderly home each month and spreading love throughout our community. If you know of a facility that would benefit from a visit, we’d love to hear from you! Simply drop us a message with the name and location of the facility.
Additionally, if you’d like to support this initiative, we welcome donations to help cover the costs of the roses and support our youth and neighbors. Together, we can make a difference.

Looking Ahead
As we move forward with Roses of Care, we’re inspired by the impact this effort has already made. Each visit is a reminder of the strength of our community and the importance of giving back. Stay tuned for updates as we continue to spread love, one rose at a time.
At the heart of Roses of Care is the belief that small acts of kindness can create ripples of positivity. Whether you’re an athlete, a community member, or someone looking to make a difference, we invite you to join us in this journey. Together, let’s continue to build a community that cares.
