She is a gifted cyclist, she does yoga, she exercises daily, and she would like to get visually impaired disc golf up and running in the Queen City.

How did you get involved with Para Guide?

We met Paul & Shannon at Triple C recruiting guides at the Running Club.

Share a memorable experience or event with Team Para Guide:

My first race after the doctor told me I could no longer run, but I could racewalk. My guides Jill & Jackie were great supporters and cheered me on as I transition from a runner to a RaceWalker.


What are your goals for 2019-2020?

To work on mastering the RaceWalker techniques
