Event summary
Join us for the vibrant Team DetermiNation Chicago Triathlon Relay on Sunday, August 25, 2024, in the beautiful city of Chicago, Cook County. This inspiring event brings together athletes and supporters as they tackle the exhilarating triathlon distances: a swim, bike ride, and run, all in the spirit of camaraderie and determination.
The relay team, aptly named "Ball, Breast and Butterfly," represents the courageous journeys of three individuals battling testicular, breast, and thyroid cancers. As they participate in this iconic triathlon, they not only celebrate their resilience and active lifestyles but also raise vital funds for the American Cancer Society. These contributions will support transportation and lodging grants for those who face financial challenges in accessing their cancer care. Join us in making a difference—whether by donating or virtually supporting the campaign, your generosity will help ensure that everyone has the opportunity to receive the healthcare they need. Let’s come together to cheer on this incredible team and raise awareness for a worthy cause!

Organiser's description
THIS IS NOT A REGISTRATION WEBSITE FOR THE CHICAGO TRIATHLON. THIS IS A FUNDRAISING WEBSITE TO SUPPORT ALEX, SARA AND ELIOT IN THEIR FUNDRAISING EFFORTS TO SUPPORT THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY THROUGH TRANSPORTATION AND RESEARCH GRANTS. PLEASE CONSIDER BECOMING A FUNDRAISER FOR TEAM BALL, BREAST AND BUTTERFLY OR MAKING A DONATION TO SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS.
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 dont, 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. If you would like to join our fundraising campaign, please select the "I want to virtually support this campaign" and you will also get a fundraising page that you can collect donations to support Transportation and Lodging Grants for the American Cancer Society.
