The Athlete

Andy Funk’s latest entrepreneurial venture with his wife, Dr. Kristi Funk, the Pink Lotus Breast Center, rose to international acclaim after Angelina Jolie announced she had a bilateral mastectomy at Pink Lotus in 2013 due to a BRCA gene mutation. A largely unknown mutation, the announcement spread around the globe for months, becoming one of the most far-reaching awareness campaigns in women’s health in recent history.

To help low income women who don’t have the insurance or financial means to receive timely, high quality breast cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment, the Pink Lotus Foundation was conceived.

When he isn’t working or spending time with his family, Andy competes as a runner, cyclist, swimmer and Ironman triathlete. He ranked 5th in the US and 18th in the world in the most competitive Ironman age group in 2013.

Andy inspires athletes from all over the world with his positive can-do attitude and greatly enjoys bringing the world of sports, fitness and wellness to others in the community.

Over 4,300 people worldwide follow Andy’s training sessions on the MapMyFitness / Under Armour Connected Fitness platform.

Andy has been featured in magazines, newspapers, and international television. Most recently, he appeared on the cover of Germany’s BILANZ magazine for a 9-page profile of his life story. He was also featured in the books “Launch!” and “Going Supernova: The Bold Paths of 101 Superachievers”.
