Linda Guerrette
"Women’s programs are awesome in that they enable people like myself to empower other women--empowering women to recognize they are capable of far more than they ever realized or give themselves credit for. It is a time to explore perceived limits and to expand capabilities, which allows them to return to their regular lives with a renewed sense of strength and competency. Skiing is a true metaphor for life. For a number of women the experience they have in women’s programs is not too different than what they might experience going through an Outward Bound course."

Of the slope I have been involved in cycling for years but have become more seriously involved in the last 5 years. I’ve been involved with a group called Border-to-Border USA, cyclists responding to pediatric HIV/AIDS. With this group along with raising funds, making a difference in children’s lives affected by HIV/AIDS I’ve had the opportunity to pedal across some incredible terrain. I have raced in the Race Across America on a 4-person Women’s team, Border-to-Border Divas. In the last two years, the Divas have successfully crossed the country in 7 days and have raised $50,000.00 for pediatric HIV/AIDS research. I’m proudest of being able to give back and make a difference.
