My good friend, dear friend Cheryl Edwards.Without a question she is a person who had to with some serious clotting issues and non of them have been able to slow her down. For me she is an inspiraton because that smile that you see on the picture NEVER EVER goes away... I even heard that she smiled the whole way when she and her husband took on the challenge to ride across this great nation. I was very fortunate to get to ride with them for a portion of their route and it was a treat for me the entire 30 Miles I rode with them. It was a treat and an experience that I will never forget.
I know that these days she and her husband continue to find ways to stay active and go at it in their bike tours whenever possible all around the West Coast... you should see some of the pictures she has sent me... I am droolling all over the place at the landscape they get to experience. I appreciate Cheryl and her willingness to spread the word about blood clots and blood clotting disorders. She is definitely doing her part in our effort to STOP THE CLOT!!!
Cheryl - THANK YOU FOR your inspiration and your smile. You are a living statement that although blood clots can impact your life and change it dramatically they are not going to put you on the side lines unless you let them. It takes time but living a normal life after having blood clotting episodes is very much achievable with the right attitude and desire to continue challenging your self.
======================================================
Let me know if you know of someone who I should be featuring on my athelete of the month posts... I look forward to know of anyone who has suffered a clotting episode and are now back in business doing what they love either on a bike, kayak, pool table, tub,whatever!
Thanks for reading!
