Summary

Today's episode is dedicated to those battling cancer in the triathlon world. In your own endurance sports community, you may have training partners and race-day competitors who have fought, or who are fighting, cancer. To discuss the brave fight of these athlete warriors, we welcome to the show Jayson Williams, Founder of the F*ck Cancer Endurance Club, and TriDot Coach Brandy Ramirez, the President and CEO of SheStrong, Inc. Jayson and Brandy, a cancer survivor herself, share some history of their organizations and how we can support fellow athletes in their fight against disease and fight to their next endurance event finish line.
