Because motherhood shouldn't mean the end of dreaming big.

I'm a mom of two, a former U.S. Sailing Team athlete, and at 42, I'm chasing a spot at the 2028 Olympic Games.

It's an extraordinary dream. It's also an extraordinarily expensive one, in time, resources, and the sacrifices it asks of an entire family.

That's why I'm so grateful to be part of the Moms Incredible Immersion Program, an organization that believes women shouldn't have to choose between raising a family and pursuing their own extraordinary ambitions.

Together, we're showing what's possible when mothers are given the support to keep dreaming.

What Moms Incredible means to me

For a long time, I thought the chapter of my life where I chased big athletic dreams was behind me.

I had already been a member of the U.S. Sailing Team. I'd competed internationally. And while I never stopped sailing, my life had grown to include a husband, two children, a business, and all the beautiful chaos that comes with raising a family.

Then, at 40, I got back into a racing dinghy.

And somewhere along the way, a dream I thought I'd left behind started to feel possible again.

But here's the thing about chasing an Olympic dream as a mother: you're not the only one making sacrifices.

Your family is part of it, too.

That's what makes Moms Incredible so special to me. They recognize that mothers have ambitions beyond motherhood, and that pursuing those ambitions doesn't diminish our commitment to our children.

In fact, I believe it can make the example we set for them even more powerful.

My kids are watching me work toward something that might not happen. They're seeing me win, lose, fall short, and try again.

And they're learning that becoming a mother doesn't mean you have to stop becoming yourself.

A partnership that makes possibility real

The Olympic dream we're working toward

Moms Incredible welcomed me into their Immersion Program because they believe in what this journey represents.

Their support helps make the practical side of elite competition possible: coaching, training, travel, and the resources required to compete at the international level.

But their belief in me means something beyond financial support.

It means having an organization in my corner that understands my children aren't an obstacle to my dream. They're part of the reason I'm pursuing it.

Be part of something incredible.

Every contribution helps support this journey and the belief that a mother's dreams are worth investing in.

Whether you're giving because you believe in women in sport, because you're a parent who has put a dream on hold, or simply because you love a good underdog story, thank you.

Your support means more than you know.
