At 70 years old, I’m still chasing the wind. Growing up in Boulder, Colorado, my childhood was a kaleidoscope of adventure—climbing trees, exploring mountain trails, and dreaming big. Cycling became my passion early on, a freedom that spoke to my soul. But life threw me a curveball in 1986 when I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. The tremors, stiffness, and challenges threatened to take away everything I loved.

Yet, I refused to give in. As my condition progressed, I adapted—first transitioning to a recumbent trike, and later discovering the Three Wheels of Magic electric recumbent trike. This incredible machine reignited my spirit, giving me back the joy of the open road. With every ride, I feel the sun on my face, the wind in my hair, and a fierce determination to live fully.

I’m a proud mother of three, a wife to a wonderful husband, and someone who refuses to let Parkinson’s define me. Every mile I pedal is a victory—a testament to resilience, hope, and the power of never giving up. My trike isn’t just a bike; it’s a lifeline, a symbol of everything I’ve overcome and everything I still strive to be.
