  • Epi 105: Court Maple | Putting the Mission into Motion with Team Heroes
    2026/04/22

    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.
