I Love Skating So Much And I

Sport That Consumed Me For Over Two Decades . . . Is Now Gone. Now It's Just Me. No Pressure, No Expectations, No Need To Be Fast, Good, Strong Or To Even Improve. Yet I Can't Let Go Of This Idea That I Always Need To Be More Than I Am. And It Is Eating Me Alive.

I Was, Without Exaggeration, A Delinquent Teenager.

The Only Reason I've Shared My Story Is To Take That Tiny Baby Step Of Breaking Down The Stigma Attached To Depression.

For 20 Years I've Had The Privilege Of Representing Canada Around The Globe... First On The Bike And Then On My Blades. The Experiences Have Shaped Me Into Who I Am Today.

I've Learned What It Truly Means To Be Canadian And In Turn I've Been Inspired To Make A Difference In The World, However Small It's Been.
