WE SUPPORT JOE’S TEAM TRIATHLETES!

The sprint triathlon training season has officially begun and Joe’s Team is challenging people to take on a meaningful
new experience - testing their athletic abilities, changing their lives, and TRI-ing to conquer cancer. Founded by
Toronto resident and cancer patient Joe Finley, Joe’s team is one of Canada’s most successful grassroots fundraising
initiatives.

Joe believed the human spirit was a powerful thing. It can show us how exceptional we can be as individuals and how
extraordinary we can be as a community. “Joe’s Team is an event that will literally change your life and the lives of
others,” stated Finley,who, following invasive chemo, radiation and lung surgery, fulfilled a lifelong goal and completed
his first triathlon. The feeling of success led him to join up with The Princess Margaret Hospital in 2006 to create Joe’s Team.

Sadly Joe Finlay, the founder of Joe’s Team, lost his battle with the disease last fall. In his memory his friends and past participants are gearing up for the fifth anniversary of the Joe’s Team Triathlon. This year is a special one for Joe’s Team – not only will it celebrate the inspiration of its founder, but it will also expand to Calgary, Alberta. Funds raised will go directly to the Alberta Cancer Foundaion in support of critical cancer research at the Tom Baker Centre.

On June Sunday June 19, 2011, the Joe’s Team sprint triathlon (750m swim, 5k run, 20k bike) will take place in the south west community of Elbow Valley. In honour of Joe and its fifth anniversary, Joe’s Team will continue its aggressive goal of conquering cancer in our lifetime. Participants will each raise a minimum of five hundred dollars. To date Joe’s Team has already raised more than $3.2 million in the fight against cancer.

Finley always said, “It’s difficult to explain the overwhelming feeling you get when you finish the race. If I could bottle up that feeling and give it to people, they would all participate.”

“Joe’s Team sprint triathlon is a great way to extend your personal fitness goals without feeling overwhelmed,” says Katie McLean, Joe’s Team Calgary Chair “Training for a great cause provides extra motivation and excitement for people, especially during those gloomy winter months when you need it most.”
