Lacey Henderson
Paralympian; Person
Welcome!
Lacey Henderson was just nine years old when her leg was amputated above the knee in a lifesaving measure after the diagnosis of a rare soft tissue tumor in her knee. It was a tough time for a young girl, but Lacey’s focus wasn’t on the negative. Instead, raised with the mindset that if you want something in life you’ll find a way to make it happen – no matter the odds… Read More
Help My Road to Rio!
Part 3 with Damon, Tori and Me!
As promised- Here is part 2 of our discussion!
When I turned 26 last year, my mom called me (after she got a delicious chocolate birthday cake special delivered to my door- Thanks mom!!) and told me that 26 was basically the Wednesday of my 20’s. I was still very much in the middle of my roarin’ 20’s. Well, I have now spent a week of the “Thursday Morning” of my 20’s, the weekend in sight but still not close enough… Read More
Hey everyone! It’s been crazy with the competition season picking up but I wanted to get something in during April as it is Limb Loss Awareness Month! On a flight to a meet I was looking over some of the Amputee Coalition’s Paddy Rossbach Youth Camp paperwork and was inspired that while life has handed us some adversity: living with a limb difference or limb loss, it also has a few perks…… Read More
This morning I received news that a friend of mine, fellow camp counselor and cancer survivor passed away yesterday. I find it hard to articulate how I feel each time I lose someone to cancer. I’m not sure what is more unsettling; the stupid fact that people are still actually dying from it or that I forget and am surprised at how deeply I am still affected by this disease. Carla was… Read More

But wait- THERE’S MORE That Friday, the 26th of February I will be hosting another Fitness Revolution where you can try out a… Read More
I thought this would be something very fitting to share on World Cancer Day. As a cancer survivor, I can tell you first hand how difficult, ugly and scary the disease is. It has taken friends and family members from us too soon. As a person undergoing treatment one of the most exhausting things you have to do is to “stay strong,” even through the pain. Cancer has changed my life… Read More
Hey all! I am putting my tentative outdoor season meet schedule up now in case anyone wants to come support at a track meet near you! Keep the look out too because as the month approaches I will update the calendar for confirmed or canceled meets. Also- you will spot a few upcoming Ottobock Running clinics I will host so keep a sharp eye. Thanks! L.
Before the New Year I wanted to get a quick D&M (deep and meaningful) blog upon reviewing 2015 and all that has passed. It was another year of transition, a little turmoil and a lot of learning. For me, the year was full of emotions and at times felt incredibly treacherous. It was a sea with violent waters and while I fought, struggled, and somehow managed to keep my head above the… Read More
This August I had a quick stop in Lincoln, Nebraska to work with my Ottobock family instructing another running clinic with some super star amputees. The particular gentleman I’m sharing with you all is Bob White. He is the athletic director at Lincoln High School, and just an over all super-nice guy. Before I spoke to Bob, he came up to me and asked if I had remembered meeting… Read More
