PAM WHITEHEAD was diagnosed with uterine cancer in 2000. Whitehead battled and beat cancer. But what happens after the battle? Pam recognized a need for cancer survivors, especially when it came to physical fitness. During her research, Whitehead became a part of the Livestrong Foundation. In 2004, Pam received a $5000 award for her outreach efforts. She took the money and began Triumph Fitness, which launched for the first time in 2005. And that's just the beginning ...

In today's episode of Experience the Buzz, Host Steve Buzzard lets the braintrust behind the Triumph brand do her thing. "Triumph is Pam's baby. You can feel her passion when she tells her story and what is behind things like Triumph Fitness, Triumph Cancer Foundation, Triumph to the Summit, and Triumph 2.0. She has made a major impact for cancer survivors in this area."  Our conversation hits THREE areas: 

  • SEGMENT ONE  introduces us to Triumph Cancer Foundation and the idea behind Triumph Fitness. Pam also shares her own personal journey with cancer.
  • SEGMENT TWO  shows us what one does to become part of the Triumph Fitness program. We find out what happened with Triumph when the Covid pandemic hit. Whitehead shares other programs under the Triumph umbrella, including Triumph 2.0 for graduates.
  • SEGMENT THREE  starts with another amazing Triumph program called Triumph to the Summit. Whitehead shares details surrounding the program's annual fund-raising event called Triumph Uncorked. And we finish off how to support Triumph and what that support means.

Here are my favorite HIGHLIGHTS  ...
1. Passion. When I first met Pam in 2020, that was the first word that came to my mind. She is one individual who believes strongly in the mission of Triumph. It's impressive to see and has made such a huge difference for so many.
2. Drive. She heard the words. She battled. And then didn't stop there. Her battle became her war cry to help others. Again, so impressive!
3. Triumph Fitness seems like a no-brainer for something that should be nationwide. I can guarantee that Pam is thinking the same thing.

Our Connection |  I met Pam in 2020. I was asked to be the auctioneer for Triumph Uncorked. While it was a virtual auction, we had an absolute blast raising money for a great organization.
