Joe Hailey Passes Away

It is with great sadness that we inform you that Joe Hailey passed away peacefully during the night of April 5 from complications due to massive swelling of the brain. Joe had been in Neurological Intensive Care since being involved in a severe crash in the final sprint of a race one week ago. Joe's presence will be sorely missed at the races and our heartfelt condolences go out to his family. In lieu of flowers, Joe's family asks that donations for a Joe Hailey Memorial Race be sent to Cycling BC. Please contact them at: office@cycling.bc.ca
