Back in Sept of 2008, I had dinner with Rob Thirlwell and his wife Sheila. We discussed me getting involved in Cops for Cancer team and the possibility of doing and Ironman race. In 2009 we went to Penticton volunteered together at the race and registered for the 2010 race. We went on wine tours and generally had a great time. Shortly after that Sheila was diagnosed with cancer and started chemotherapy treatments to fight the desease. On Dec 20 2010 Shelia Thrilwell died of cancer. She was a great inspiration to me, I will miss her positive outlook and wonderful personality.
