Dawn kicks off the second week of #RegionRats on the #FacingFearPodcast. Her journey from grieving to grateful started with an accident resulting in paraplegia. The grateful side of life started when Dawn shifted her perspective by navigating motherhood, continuing her epic sports career and leaning on the support of family and friends. The grieving side taught Dawn the world isn't going to adjust for her so she learned to adapt in more ways than one.
