MARIE CAMPBELL Founder and Chairperson
Marie is a Registered Nurse who has worked in both Cardiac and Complex Development specialties. After 18 years in adult and children’s cardiac care, she became a Nurse Clinician at BC Children’s Hospital, Sunny Hill, and now works as Team Lead for the Hearing Loss and Vision Impairment Clinics.

In 2010, she founded the Triple Crown for Heart Cycling event and continues to organise and support this event in many roles with a clever, practically minded group of friends, associates and coworkers who give their time as volunteers!

Marie grew up in Ontario and Korea but returned to North and West Vancouver each summer to visit family throughout her childhood.  After attending UBC for Nursing school she made her home in Vancouver with her partner and their 22 pound Burmese Cat, Harry. She can be found both cycling or swimming during the week throughout Vancouver.

She would like to thank everyone who has volunteered and worked with us over time. With amazing support and clever development from individuals and the community as a whole, it is amazing what the Triple Crown has become over the years. 

DOMINIK SZOPA Technical Director
Since growing up as a kid at the base of Mt Seymour, Dominik enjoyed two things: computer and riding bikes - but never once considered biking to the top of the mountain. Computers became his career and in 2008 he re-discovered his love of biking through triathlon. It was through the local triathlon club, Leading Edge, that he met Marie, who one day came up with the crazy idea of a group of friends riding up the three local mountains to raise money for the heart ward of BC Children's Hospital. A challenging but fun day turned into an yearly event thanks to the encouragement of Stuart. Since then, Dominik has been able to combine his love of biking and his computer skills into an opportunity to give back to a great cause with an amazing group of people at the Triple Crown for Heart.

STUART LEW Vice Chairperson
Stuart is a MAMIL in his mid 60s (is that still considered middle aged? his father is in his early 90s….so yeah), a dedicated environmentalist trying to minimize his carbon footprint and use of the earth’s resources and endeavouring to provide an example to his family of seven and others. He is a founding rider of the Triple Crown for Heart in 2010 and a Triple Crown completist: he has ridden every year of the event, even (solo) during the COVID shutdown. His day job is working for HUB Cycling empowering more people to ride bikes more often by delivering bike education programs to elementary schools throughout BC.

LENA HOZAIMA Event Coordinator

Volunteer Coordinator (Shared Position for 2024)

SHAUN CARPENTER Marketing and Sponsorship Coordinator
Shaun is a heart dad and passionate cyclist, so the Triple Crown for Heart was a natural for him when he began participating a decade ago. Since then, Shaun became involved on the organizing committee and took on the critical task of fundraising, where he solicits financial support from BC organizations and individual donors. In his day job, Shaun runs an Executive Search company.

MATT DIXON Sponsorship Marketing and Sponsorship Coordinator

MAUREEN MARRIOTT Communications Coordinator
Maureen became involved with the TC4H during the ride’s post-pandemic return in 2022. This cause is close to her heart because she has two family members who were born with congenital heart defects. She enjoys cheering on riders from the sidelines and working behind the scenes to help steer communications for the TC4H. Her professional life has been spent in the field of adult continuing education at UBC and Emily Carr University. She is also a native bee enthusiast, an early literacy and food literacy volunteer, and environmental advocate.
