About Us

Fighting Cancer Triathlon (Tri-To-Beat Cancer) is an independent self-financed charity set up in 2001 as a way of

raising critically needed funds to support the Cancer Clinical Research Trust at St. Vincent’s Hospital Dublin.

When Ann Burns had the idea to set-up Tri-To-Beat-Cancer she had to learn how to swim first even whilst she

was still undergoing chemotherapy treatment. It is this sort of determination that underpins what this event is all about.

“Ann Burns Charity Founder (centre on photo)   - sadly passed away in

2004. In 2010 the 10th Anniversary,  the event underwent a name

change to “Fighting-Cancer-Triathlon” but maintains its status as

Ireland’s premier charity triathlon.”
