I’m a sponsored snowboarder who boards at Massanutten Mountain. I claim it as my home mountain. One day, up at Mass, I was with my boy Carl Leake. We’re both amatuer professional snowboarders. We were boarding all day, a 13 hour boarding day. The accident happened when we were about to leave the wintery wonderland. Carl and I just came off of MakkAttack which is a slope going down to the terrain park on Pacesetter which is another, smaller slope. They only put this sick terrain park up at the…

When I was nine years old I was diagnosed with a collapsed vertebra in my neck that turned out to be a rare form of cancer called Histiocytosis. I had to wear a cervical collar for a year and the…

I knew I had to be mentally tough during state volleyball whenever I had a torn labrum in my right shoulder, tendinitis in my right rotator cuff, damage to my MCL and my LCL, and two bone bruises on my right knee-cap. Playing throughout the tournament proved to be quite a challenge, but I knew if I let my coach or anyone see even the slightest sign of pain, I would be benched. I…
