Kitchener Rangers Team Captain Gabriel Landeskog, Defenseman Ryan Murphy, Ben Fanelli and Assistant Coach Troy Smith

Almost everyone knows about Lance Armstrong’s battle through cancer to prove that nothing can slow him down. His story has become one of inspiration to many around the world, including the Kitchener Rangers’ Ben Fanelli.

That is why Ben in partnership with the Kitchener Rangers has developed HEAD STRONG, Fanelli 4 Brain Injury Awareness: a program designed to raise awareness about brain injuries.

“Lance Armstrong overcame something that no one thought was possible and I want to replicate that in a different way with my injury,” Ben says. “I planned to run this triathlon months ago because I needed another goal. I decided to turn it into something bigger and found an association I would like to support.”

That would be the Brain Injury Association of Canada (BIAC). Ben will be collecting pledges online and raising funds through the sale of a HEAD STRONG t-shirt, $20 including tax available at the Outpost, the official store of the Kitchener Rangers, with proceeds going to the BIAC and its programs.

On June 5, 2011 Fanelli will swim, bike and run his way through the Subaru Triathlon being held in Milton, Ontario. He will participate in a 750m swim, a 30km bike ride and a 7.5km run and is asking for your support in raising funds for the Brain Injury Association of Canada (BIAC). Pledges for his cause can be made online or in person at the Kitchener Rangers office.

“A concussion is a brain injury now. In my area of life, which is hockey. I want to make it known that there’s a way to help”, says Ben.

Something that has definitely helped keep Ben motivated with these plans is the support he has had, starting with teammates Gabriel Landeskog and Ryan Murphy. “The three of us talked about it and (Murphy and I) said we can help you out and we can be your trainers,” Landeskog explains. “It’s one of those things we all wanted to do, and it’s really exciting.”

And when it comes to training, the three of them are always at it. “We’re probably the last ones leaving the rink,” Murphy laughs. “I am the vocal guy out there that keeps him going – Gabe is the guy who can work out with him. But we do our part and can’t wait to see him running, swimming and biking.”

Ben participated in his first triathlon a couple weeks ago, and now knows how hard he will need to push. “I know my body isn’t meant for triathlons, I’ve trained for hockey,” he says. “But everything I’ve done in my life I try to come out on top. I’m going to go as hard as I can the whole race.”

Ben also knows he has more than just the support of his family, coaches and teammates as he strives to achieve his goals, but also that of the Kitchener fans.

“It’s absolutely amazing to feel the support. I can’t even find words to describe it because of the respect I feel and the adrenaline it gives me to work harder, it’s amazing. At the same time, I need to show everyone that I will be back.”

So focusing on what he can do now, and helping a cause so close to his heart is what Ben is set on doing. He is proving what determination can do, just like his idol. And like Lance Armstrong, Ben is hoping this leads to something great.

There are 2 ways to help Ben Fanelli raise funds for the Brian Injury Association of Canada: CanadaHelps and PayPal. Please click on the images below to donate.

Of these 168,000 people, a significant percentage have suffered some degree of a brain injury from mild to traumatic which in some way can effect their lives and the lives of their loved ones. Let us remember not only those who have passed away but also those who have suffered a life altering injury.

National Day of Remembrance for Road Crash Victims – November 17th, 2010

National Day of Remembrance for Road Crash Victims

Opening Day : May 15 11 AM to 4 PM
283 Queens Quay West (just West of the Radisson Hotel)
Starting on May 19: We are open Wednesday to Sunday 12 Noon – 6 PM (May and June)
Monday to Sunday 12 Noon – 8 PM ( July and August)

Information for Outreach Groups :
We are excited to get the 2010 season started and are even more excited to have you join us. Here is some information on how the Outreach Program works :
We offer outreach groups ‘transferable memberships’ which means that you can use a single membership on a rotating basis. For example, if your group purchases three memberships at $30 each, you can bring 3 participants each time to sail, these participants can be different every week. These transferable memberships work well for outreach groups that come on a regular basis (i.e once or twice a week). For groups that only plan on coming once a month, or a couple of times throughout the season, the organization can purchase one membership for the organization and pay accordingly for each sailor. The price for each sail is $10.00.

We understand that for people that have never sailed, there may be many questions and concerns. We welcome interested parties to come and book a FREE half hour demo sail with us. You get the opportunity to see our facilities, meet our staff and volunteers, and try out our boats!

For the months of May and June, we are open five days a week, closing on Monday and Tuesday. We will be booking outreach sails on Wednesdays and Fridays at noon and 2pm. In the months of July and August, we will be open 7 days a week and outreach sails will go out on Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays. Sailing at noon and 2 pm. Participants that do not require the assistance of a hoyer lift may book sails on our 22ft keel boats. These groups sails can accommodate up to 4 sailors. Participants that require the hoyer lift may book a sail on our Martin 16 and sail with a qualified sailing companion. These boats can only accommodate the one sailor and the companion. These sails typically last 1 hr to 1 and a half hrs.

We are flexible in sail times, so if these times to do not work for your organization, please contact us and we will try to accommodate you.

We also encourage participants to become their own member and be open to come sail at their own leisure. If you require any more information please do not hesitate to visit our website or contact us at the club house for more information.

The staff and volunteers at the Queens Quay Disabled Sailing Program looks forward to seeing you on the water!
