Tri'ing to End ALS

Donna Bartel and her husband Mike Pearson are on a journey

“Tri’ing to End ALS”.

It all started in 2010 when Donna did Ironman Canada to raise funds under the “Tri’ing” banner. The journey continued in 2012 with another Ironman. That winter Donna had the crazy idea of “Tri’ing” triathlons across the country……

They started their journey on May 5 , 2025. The journey ended back in Vernon September 16, after 31,000 kilometers driving, 6,000 kms flying ( to Iqaluit) and a triathlon in every province and every territory, and 18 triathlons in 19 weeks.

The 2025 adventure has come to an end...but Tri'ing to End ALS continues .

In 2027 Mike and Donna will embark on Tri'ing to End ALS, the BC edition; traveling to our home province doing triathlons and raising awareness about ALS. Our teammate Cody will be doing a variety of Tri'ing adventure through out the year.

Stay tuned for updates.
