Wednesday's edition of the Boston Globe featured a biography piece on Team Darfur co-founder and president Joey Cheek. The feature covers Joey's unique path to becoming a human rights activist as well as his time spent training for and competing in the Olympics. 

"Speedskater Joey Cheek, 29, glides through T.F. Green International Airport as if he's in a race with himself, his long, thin torso leaning slightly forward when he walks. His Olympic gold medal is stashed in his backpack. He's in New England to give a motivational speech for a pharmaceutical company to help pay those pesky Princeton tuition bills. But he has his eyes on a bigger prize. Peace in Darfur, Sudan."
