I don't know why, but I love sunflowers, and I just have this vivid memory of being in a field of sunflowers and how they felt like trees. They felt so tall.

With cycling, I can still be active and compete, and ultimately, that's what I love to do, to be competitive.

I use Olay Total Effects Tone Correcting CC Cream in place of foundation post-workout. I absolutely love that it's quick, easy, and something I can use on the go. It evens out my skin tone, provides SPF 15 protection, and leaves my skin feeling breathable, healthy, and moisturized.

It's weird to not know what a family is. Not know what a mother's love is. And not really know what a hug is or anything.

My hair is super fine, so I love using Batiste Dry Shampoo to give it volume after I shower and dry my hair. It also gives me extra body and texture for when I choose to wear my hair in a French braid.

I was a super active kid, so I've always been aware of where my body is in space, and I think when I had my legs amputated, it makes you more aware of your body, and because I don't use my legs, I use more of my hands.

I definitely did not like my body when I first started sports. I didn't like my body just in general as a teenager. Being a girl and a teenager with two prosthetic legs and two hands that were misshapen that had so much reconstructive surgery on them, I thought my world was over - put a zit on top of that, and then my life is completely over.

It's insane going from skiing to cycling. Even though you are in prime shape, you feel like you have never worked out a day in your life.

The realization that I'm never going to run again, the feeling through my hair when you run... you're still a kid. You still have so much life to live.

My mom literally saved my life. I wasn't supposed to make it out of the orphanage.

I am very lucky to be living my dream.

I've gotten a lot of people saying. 'That is awesome. You're so brave.' I hate when people say brave. I'm not brave. I'm just living my life. Why is that brave?
