Abstract

This editorial introduces the special tribute series dedicated to Dr. Jack and Cheryl Taunton. This special tribute includes more than 20 commentaries from leading exercise scientists, academics, athletes, physicians, professional teams and organizations, friends, and family from around the international community. This series outlines the key roles that Jack and Cheryl have played in the creation and implementation of major regional, national, and international events and organizations (like the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Vancouver Sun Run, the Vancouver Marathon, SportMedBC, the Grand Prix of Cycling, and the Canadian Health & Fitness Institute). This series also outlines the influential mentorship roles that they have played in the lives of so many successful physicians, athletes, academics, and students from throughout the world. A central theme of these commentaries is the compassion and consideration that Jack and Cheryl have provided to others. Collectively, these articles highlight the truly remarkable careers of Jack and Cheryl and their influential roles in the lives of others.
