At a Glance- I went to school for the blind in Worcester. It was always my dream to be a professional cyclist. In high school, me and my brother built our own tandum and started to race. After many years of saving, I got myself a second hand tandum. In 2007 we started to practice for 3 years. In 2010 we competed for the first time. I was born blind,but doctors only diagnosed me at 7 months with Glycoma.
