From Wheelchair to Walking across the North of England

I’m an athlete who knows what it’s like to soar! … And also feel completely hobbled.

In 2011 and 2012 I needed a wheelchair to walk more than a few steps.

With patience and perseverance – and joy – I relearned how to walk, regained my strength.

I remembered: I’m an athlete!

In 2022 I gave myself something exciting to train for.

On this page I share that adventure.

Hello funseekers! For the first time ever today I had the opportunity to ski but didn’t – out of FEAR!

That fall I took a few weeks ago climbing got in my head. Until I remembered who’s in charge up in here!

Thank you for being on this journey with me 🥾❄️☀️

From the days when a loving mom carried a screaming child out of the YMCA… To the days when a loving child supports a screaming mom in learning to rock climb. ❤️

Thank you for being here 🥾🕺

11/28/22… This is a fun update – it’s from the place I’ve come to think of as my very own Narnia!

And may or may not include some happy tears 🙂

10/20/22.. Two weeks ago my son and I got well and truly lost in a place I thought I could never get lost in.

It’s been such an interesting journey as I have processed this and figured out how to not lose my mind while finding my way across the north of England on foot.

10/1/22.. As I am upping my training I am noticing some of the oldest and deepest scarring and injuries resurfacing…

The solution is threefold: excellent massage therapy, love from the awesome people in my life – that’s you! – and grapevines and speed drills in the backyard.

It’s a good thing I love those!

8/22/22.. Hello fun seekers! Last week I got all excited about the amount of miles I’d walked in a week…
until I realized how much MORE than that I would need to be walking to complete my coast-to-coast path walk across the north of England!

It nearly derailed my training – until I figured out a go round 🙂

If you’d like to support me or help share about my story, THANK YOU 🙏 🥾💕🕺
