Our Coaches & Trainers

                                               Heather Webber

Heather was our coach and trainer and also served as our President. Sadly, she passed away on March 3, 2010. She was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000 and then experienced a recurrence in 2007. Heather lived life to the fullest and remained mentally and physically strong throughout it all. She motivated and encouraged us with her positive attitude and courageous spirit. She was an inspiration to us all and she will be truly missed.

Jon has raced with great success nationally and internationally and earns his living coaching local teams. As can be seen from the photo, he encourages us to be "huge"!
