Hi my name is Vienna, it is with broken hearts that we share the passing of my best friend of 20 years Hannah. For two decades she was not just a friend, but family, a constant source of love, laughter, and unwavering support.

Hannah had a heart that made room for everyone. She had a way of showing up when it mattered most, whether it was a late-night phone call, a shared inside joke, or simply sitting in silence when words weren’t enough. The kind of loyalty and kindness she gave so freely is rare, and those who knew her were truly blessed.

Hannah was known for her beautiful smile, infectious laugh, generous spirit, strength, humour, her dedication and drive. She touched countless lives and leaves behind a legacy of love, compassion, and unforgettable memories.Hannah had a way of making everyone feel seen, valued, and cared for.

As stated by triathlon Canada “The entire Triathlon Canada community is heartbroken to learn of the passing of Canadian triathlete Hannah Henry.

Born with a passion to swim, bike, and run, Hannah completed her first triathlon at just nine years old. From those early days, it was clear she was destined for greatness. She quickly rose through the Canadian development pathway, building an extraordinary list of accomplishments that reflected both her talent and relentless drive.

Hannah proudly represented Canada as a member of Team Canada’s silver medal–winning relay team at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru. An honours student, Hannah was also one of the first triathletes to compete in NCAA triathlon, making history while representing the Arizona State Sun Devils. There, she claimed back-to-back individual titles at the USAT Collegiate National Championships in 2017 and 2018 and was named the 2017–18 USA Triathlon Division I Freshman of the Year and an All-American. Hannah is the only athlete to ever win two national championships. Hannah first made her mark on the sport in Canada representing British Columbia at the 2017 Canada Games where she earned three medals — two gold and one silver.

Beyond her remarkable achievements, Hannah was a wonderful young woman, teammate, and warm friend. She was always in pursuit of her next goal with a smile on her face, constantly striving to be better, most recently while preparing to improve her time at the Boston Marathon”.

We want to help raise funds to have a memorial plaque in honour of Hannah as well as to help young female triathletes through a legacy scholarship. A non profit foundation will be created in her name, with proceeds directed to women in sport and research aimed at female athletes’ health.

If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keep Hannah’s family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.

We are so grateful for the love and support during this incredibly painful time.
