“To every biker who waited to welcome and ride me to the venue, thank you very much. Achieving this has caused a big shift in my mind,” she wrote.
“Suddenly I have a myriad of things I want to do and I’m sure will work because I have achieved something I once thought was too hard to dare.
“I want to plan, start, and execute new things. There is a part of my brain that believes anything I try will succeed because I have the tenacity and resilience to see it through.
“I am not the same person. I have changed in the most positive ways. I feel privileged to have achieved this.
“I can’t wait for many more exciting challenges I’ll go headlong into. There has never been a better time to feel this alive.”
