This is awesome. In this time of absolute weirdness it's great to have some "normal" athlete life battles to provide support for. You go Katy!! My family has followed your progression for the last few years and it is an inspiration to us. My kids who are 14, 12 and 10 think you rock! Us as mum and dad have done heaps of racing but the kids need bigger heroes. Those who struggle through and overcome obstacles in their lives, especially in the mtb area are meeting that need. Even though in NZ we have lots of great racers your story strikes a chord with us for its honesty and we can really relate to it. Especially for the washed-up old school racers like mum and dad ha ha. Never say die though eh. The single speed NZ world champs in 2017 was mum and dads latest race but not our last! The kids are now boosting gaps and aspiring to be EWS racers thanks to the likes of you Katy. Lots of community support here in NZ. Go well with your new program. We will enjoy your racing experiences no matter what the outcome. Enjoy yourself and know that you are having an extremely positive influence on the next generation of riders, racers or otherwise. Well done!
