Back in March, FOX News Radio gave me the opportunity to share my story of overcoming multiple brain tumors and returning to BMX riding, which is more than a sport to me. It’s my passion, freedom, love and it has saved my life in more than one way.
I documented my experience via video, which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/embed/NNlQzomuuF0
