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.

I am nowhere near my limit. I just want to see if there are such things as limits. I want to go and find out.

I was, without exaggeration, a delinquent teenager.

Ive had so many experiences in cycling, but in some ways I have nothing left to prove. I have achieved more than I could have dreamed of, Ive raced a lot longer than I thought I would. I know I can still be better, but I just dont know if I love it enough any more.

I've learned what it truly means to be Canadian and in turn I've been inspired to make a difference in the world, however small it's been.

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.

The only reason I've shared my story is to take that tiny baby step of breaking down the stigma attached to depression.
