Volunteer Experience
Hand Cyclist Race Day Mechanical Ridealong Support at N/A
April 2013 - Present (7 months)
Through Bike Cleveland I was introduced to a group of paraplegic and quadriplegic athletes that compete in
major local marathons and to have had the opportunity to provide ride along race day support. During
competitive races I provide mechanical support when needed in changing flat tires, wheel alignments, other
mechanical or safety issues and help alert and clear paths from other runners, competitors and staff of their
presence as the hand cycle bikes ride very low to the ground. This opportunity allows me the ability to
support other athletes as well as inspire myself.
