After facing an extended hospital stay and full-on hemispheric paralysis with much cognitive loss, I have met 1,745 days of determining, morning, noon, and night, 8 days a week, to take up the battle to recover fully and to never give up. I come to TEDxIthaca College to share insights about the power of determination in recovery and in life. As a runner, cyclist, triathlete, and as a mother to two and a friend/ family member to many, I refuse to let the story of my life become one of despair and tragedy. Rather, I insist that it become a story of determination, inspiration and achievement. Those are some ideas worth sharing.
