    <description>Summits Podcast 
What’s your cancer story? 
Hosted by cancer survivor and philanthropist Vince Todd, Jr., Chairman and Co-Founder of the Heroes Foundation, and Heroes Foundation Board Member Daniel Abdallah, the Summits Podcast is a place for people to share their stories.
Everyone has a cancer story. 
From battling a deadly disease to caring for a loved one, when we rise up and face life’s greatest challenges, we see with a new vision, feel with a greater passion, and think with a deeper perspective.
Along the way, paths cross, journeys intersect, and missions converge.  
For Vince Todd, it was his own cancer diagnosis that led him and his wife, Cindy, to launch the Heroes Foundation to provide meaningful support to cancer patients, education to promote cancer prevention, and resources to advance research for a cure.
What started with friends and family grew into a community. The Summits Podcast is an extension of that community. 
Our stories are what bring us together. 
Artists, athletes, doctors, business people - we’re all family members, community leaders, and activists. 
Everyone has a story.  Anyone can inspire. No one battles alone. 
Join the conversation.
Let’s climb the summit together.

  <itunes:subtitle>What does it look like when a passion for cycling collides with a mission greater than yourself? In this episode, we sit down with Court Maple of Team Heroes to find out.
 
Court takes us through the cycling journey that brought him to Team Heroes – a team built on more than just miles and medals. Now 25 years since its formation, Team Heroes continues to carry the Heroes Foundation mission forward, proving that the drive to fight cancer never slows down.
 
But Team Heroes is more than a cycling team – it's a family. Court opens up about the tight-knit community they've built, one that shows up for each other through life's biggest celebrations and its most difficult moments alike.
 
Court also shares about something we all need to hear: the importance of making your health a priority and the powerful role that prevention plays in the fight against cancer.
 
Whether you're a cyclist, a Team Heroes and Heroes Foundation supporter, or someone looking for inspiration to take charge of your health, this episode is for you.
