I’m a very strong person and I’m not
just talking like muscles I’m I’m a very
stubborn person and stubborn is a really
good word for me because I just don’t
give up and I love when someone tells me
oh you can’t do that
oh really watch me so when I was eight
years old I was diagnosed with Ewing’s
sarcoma
which is a rare form of bone cancer they
decided they were gonna give me
chemotherapy for two years and amputate
my leg from the knee down I’ve been in
APG for 29 years I work out five days a
week kind of a typical day for me would
be me getting up really early
I get up at 3:45 in the morning I head
over to the gym I get about an hour
workout and then whenever I get home I’m
making breakfast making my husband’s
lunch getting my husband all to deliver
we just gonna be a fast some days
sometimes I hit the gym a second time
come up to refuge barbell which is my
strongman gym every person I’ve ever met
a strong man is absolutely mental but
you know this community is great and
then being able to spend time with my
girls I’m raising two girls who will
understand what it’s like for someone
with a different ability level to be
them
[Music]
when I was a kid it was a lot harder to
be an apt growing up I had a lot of body
issues because I didn’t look like
everyone else when someone doesn’t
understand something they tend to fear
it and we all go through it some of us
just go through it a little harder
because we’re dealing with something
extra
you never know we’re all going through
something our two daughters and they see
me doing all of this stuff and you know
lifting heavy weights and cycling and
running and they get to see me doing
that they’re not gonna put any
misconceptions on someone else and I
think that’s awesome
[Music]
do you think that do you think that
you’re at a disadvantage yeah sure but
we all are
[Music]
I want to see what my body can do why
not and I want to push the limits
putting limitations on someone before
you can see what they’re really capable
of is denying that person of becoming
stronger and so I want those individuals
that are watching to realize like
we’re all absolutely abled we just have
different ways of doing it that’s it
[Music]
