“We all have challenges and all of our challenges are different...you can’t compare your challenges to someone else’s...But it’s your choice whether you’re going to let those challenges take over and take hold or if you’re going to overcome those challenges and move forward.” ~ Wendy Larsen*** Wendy is a mother to 2 adult children, wife to an ultramarathoner, survivor of a major trauma, cancer survivor, and lives with several rare, genetic diseases that affect her mobility. A long time runner, she transitioned to wheelchair athletics in 2017 and completed her first full marathon as a handcyclist in January 2018.
