My name is Cody Isted, and I’m honoured to join Donna and Mike in raising funds and awareness for ALS research. Though I’m new to the triathlon community, I’m excited to channel this passion into supporting a cause that means so much to me.
In May 2024, my father was diagnosed with ALS. Until then, I knew little about this devastating disease. In June, at a local triathlon, I met Donna, and we struck up a conversation. She shared that she and her husband, Mike, are traveling across Canada in 2025, competing in triathlons to support ALS research. Her story moved me deeply and inspired me to use my own journey in triathlon to make a difference.
This year, I’ll be involved in several races (not just triathlons) in British Columbia, directing funds for Tri’ing to End ALS along the way. My hope is for a future where ALS is nothing more than a memory and no family has to endure its impact.

"As part of my '70' year celebration I am re-entering the triathlon world and my first triathlon on June 7th, is a very special one.
As I do this event in a couple of months in Oliver, BC, I want to support and raise money for a wonderful cause: Tri'ing to End ALS.
Two very dear friends, Donna and Mike, are travelling across Canada doing a triathlon in each province and territory raising money for ALS. Oliver will be their 4th of 17 races.
I first became aware of this devastating disease over 40 years ago when my children's paternal grandmother was diagnosed with ALS and passed away soon after.
Thank you in advance for anything you can contribute.
