The Latest @ Coeur
Meet Karen Aydelott. One of the most inspiring triathletes you'll ever meet.
Thank you to all of the amazing ladies who have responded to our call for athletes! We are reading through each and every one of the applications received and will do our absolute best to select women who embody the Coeur values.

Before I go on to tell the rest of this, I have to just say that I have re-written this next section twice and I just can't find the words to convey how incredible, inspiring, emotional and moving we found this to be.
