Biggest Seating Challenge:

My old cushion was very heavy and did not provide any relief for pressure sores.

How Ride Helped:

I saw an immediate increase in stability and pressure relief. I don't have to worry about possible sores anymore.

Give us the details:

I am a precision shooter for the US Paralympic team. In 2003 I sustained a T4 back injury during a car accident. I started out handcycling and wheelchair racing before realizing that I wouldn't be able to compete at the Paralympic level in those sports, so I got back into shooting in 2011. I used to shoot before my injury in a few different leagues. In November of 2012 I moved to Colorado Springs and had the opportunity to start training at the Olympic Center and have been competing internationally since. My favorite event is the 25 meter air pistol and I competed at the 2016 Rio Paralympic games.
