Support Edwin Tan's Tri for a Cure

Edwin Tan

Meet Edwin Tan! After he was diagnosed with hepatitis B five years ago, Edwin committed to becoming healthier. Now, he is training for a series of 6 races—triathlons, a marathon and an ironman—to raise money and awareness for hepatitis B research, patient outreach and education. 

All together, Edwin is racing over 336 miles this summer to shine a spotlight on hepatitis B!

"I am excited to bring attention to hepatitis B throughout my race season," Edwin said. "I want to show that Hep B is not a condition that debilitates someone and that we can triumph through adversity. I want to be a positive example against the stigma associated with Hep B and the shame that some people may feel for having it. Completing an Ironman, which is regarded as one of the most difficult one day athletic events, serves as a good example that we each can accomplish anything we want as long as we believe in ourselves."
