Lucy, a veterinary doctor, has battled a mystery disease for a number of years. She saw 55 specialists before finding answers. Women are not taken seriously in healthcare, and it took a long time to find the truth and the solution. 

Lucy found a very special hobby, riding bikes, that connected her with Carol. An accident left her in the hospital, but it didn’t take long for her to get back to riding. 

Highlights:

{02:35} Going to Veterinary School

{05:55} What makes Lucy a Titan

{10:35} Dealing with Lyme Disease

{22:52} Seeing 55 specialists.

{52:51} Advice for people looking for help.

Lucy Blondel Bio:

Lucy didn't always dream of racing, she dreamed of walking. Of being able to put one foot in front of the other and move in any direction, at any speed. For a period of time, even that seemed impossible for her.

In 2012, only two short years after moving to Canada from Scotland, she was diagnosed with Lyme disease. The "great imitator" it's called. The course of my disease mimicked MS, lupus, brain cancer, and chronic fatigue. It left her in excruciating pain, often with paralysis encompassing the left side of her body. She lost the ability to speak normally and often felt like she was having a stroke. After seeing over 50 specialists, including a few in the UK, trialing over 30 different drugs, and being informed it was probably mental (and that she was probably a little crazy) Lucy investigated and eventually treated herself. (She is a veterinary surgeon).

As the months went by, she got stronger, but couldn't help but feel like something was missing. Where was the adventure she had dreamed about when she was sick? The excitement? Despite everything she had overcome, she wanted more. And then, 3.5 years ago, she got on a bike.

Within minutes I knew it was going to change my life (spoiler: it has). It was instant chemistry and not an ounce of fear. Within 9 months of getting her license, Lucy participated in her first track day.

Matthew Currin is a retired Marine Corps helicopter pilot and a current Team Penske NASCAR pilot. He is also a trainer, life coach, and founder of Convene Communities.

Matt Currin Bio:

Matt’s career as a Marine required making split-second decisions and having access to the right knowledge at the right time. This could often result in either life or death for others. Matt saw the repercussions of this when his close friend died in a helicopter accident, which could have easily been averted if knowledge had been shared from another squadron of a simple aircraft change. The change of a simple bolt in the cockpit could have saved three Marines’s lives if information had been shared.

It inspired him to create Convene – a platform tailored for businesses and individuals to collaborate and connect.

Jessica Brown Bio:

Jessica Brown is a sought-after Empowerment Speaker, Confidence Coach, and Mentor. As a natural connector, Jessica has the ability to make people feel seen and heard. With 70% of teen girls not seeing themselves as good enough compared to their peers, Jessica is passionate about changing that narrative. As a teen, she looked for validation from others and became a perfectionist out of a desire to hide her external flaws.

Her exceptional communication is a result of her degree in Communication, learning English as a second language, and her fluency in Spanish which she learned as a child growing up in Panama. Jessica is a Veteran of the United States Army and attributes her level of resilience to overcoming physical and mental challenges she endured while serving, as well as various life-altering experiences.
