From unforeseen obstacles, dealing with ongoing challenges to triumphs, these stories provide an insight into the perspective that defines the riding community. Within these stories, we find solace, inspiration, and collective strength.
Interview: Andy McKenna, Stoked on MS Founder
Andy McKenna is a 51 year old legend within the UK mountain biking community who lives in the Scottish village of Clovenfords. He traded corporate life for a completely different lifestyle surrounding bikes and shared experiences in the mountains following his diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis back in 2007. Despite the challenges of his condition, he’s able to retain his infectious laugh and still finds his solace in the hills aboard his Santa Cruz Heckler.
Share Your Story.
Rider Resilience intends to become a support circle, a pool of inspiration from which to draw strength and motivation.
WRITTEN BY YOU is where the narratives are penned by the very individuals who have experienced the challenges and triumphs of riding through adversity firsthand, offering a unique and authentic glimpse into their journeys.
If you have ever found yourself turning to your bike to regain solace, we would love to hear your story.
