Welcome to my blog.  I am so excited to share with you a peek into Abby’s World yolo… I may have severe physical challenges but my mind has no limitations. I like all of the same things typical teenagers like to do. I like fashion, nail art and Jewelry. I have a pack of puppies. Sparta and Twinkie are my service dogs & Olivia is just a whole lot of trouble. But the thing I love the most is adventure! I love Roller Coasters, crashing waves at the beach, driving off road in a 4WD Jeep getting mud soaked and skiing! If it  has something to do with speed and adrenaline I’m there! I am very lucky to have such a great family and friends that support anything I set my mind to. I have to get pretty creative sometimes adapting equipment or securing my body so I can participate.

I have fears just like anyone. I just turned 14. I spent 5 years in and out of the hospital. I get scared going into surgery and not knowing how much pain I will feel and how long the recovery will be. I am quadriplegic and non verbal, so doctors and nurses do all sorts of procedures and tests whirling my body through space and I can’t say “NO” or “STOP”!  Being so sick made me who I am. It gives me a drive that makes me want to live life big! Sitting in my wheelchair parked in front of a TV is no life for me. I want to experience everything, I like to go go go…  Always looking forward to all of the things I can do.  Now I am going through my bucket list. Believing that everything is possible.

This winter I have been doing a lot of skiing! I love the cold wind on my face, the sound of the snow crunching under my ski but most of all the speed and the thrill! Check out my video

Now for the big news! Abigail’s Big Adventure. Dreams and Wishes do come true. I am such a lucky girl. March 2nd I will be trekking New Zealand hanging out with the Kiwis on an extreme sports vacation. I owe a huge shout out to my new friend Jezza. He is in a wheelchair like me. He formed a company called Making Trax. He organizes adventures for the disabled making the Impossible possible. He is my new friend and hero. I can only aspire to be like him someday. What an amazing role model he is. I am so excited to meet him.You want to stay tuned.  I will post my adventures here as they unfold.
