Team DetermiNation Chicago Triathlon Relay

Ball, Breast and Butterfly, our triathlon relay team name, is a description of the types of cancer that the three of us are respectively battling - testicular, breast and thyroid (the thyroid gland often being described as butterfly-shaped). As active people before our cancer odysseys began, we are doing the Chicago Triathlon to continue our active lives both symbolically and in actuality. We all are doing well at this point in our care and we celebrate our good fortune. We also celebrate our good fortune to have access to and the means to afford excellent healthcare. In service to those that don’t, we are raising money for an American Cancer Society program that provides travel and transportation grants to those who are less financially fortunate and need to travel to receive their cancer care. Please help us support them by making a donation at the link below. We greatly appreciate your generosity!
