If you dream and you allow yourself to dream you can do anything.

With athletes, it's never fully understood the level to which we push ourselves. Especially in an endurance sport.

All the physical comes from the mental.

I want people to be inspired that I've always strived for excellence and I've always gone beyond what anybody ever thought I could do, what I thought I myself could do. And I've allowed myself to be inspired, kept my eyes open and my senses open to inspiration around me.

What I have to do now is figure where my passion is, and follow my heart; I've proven that if I have the passion for something then I can succeed. I haven't been listening to my heart in the last little while.

I love skating so much and I feel like every time I step out onto the ice, that's what I'm meant to do.

For 20 years I've had the privilege of representing Canada around the globe... first on the bike and then on my blades. The experiences have shaped me into who I am today.
