International Triathlon Union

Hailey Danz (nee Danisewicz) was a successful sports player before contracting bone cancer at the age of 12. When she applied for an internship at the Chicago-based Great Lakes Adaptive Sports Association in 2011 and her then boss, triathlete Keri Serota, agreed to hire her on one condition - Hailey must attempt a triathlon. She got the internship and it was that first triathlon that forever changed her life.

Since then, Hayley has had 15 podium finishes, six gold medals and is currently ranked number three in the world.
