Kristin Green

Today, I live a well rounded life with my family. I am proudly identified as a mother, wife, teacher, daughter, coach, athlete and friend. A few short years ago, my journey to success was threatened by a severe car accident. I was newly engaged, planning my future, and left with a damaged spine and persistent pain. I quickly became concerned about my ability to have children, coach and fulfill a lifelong dream of running a marathon. Thanks to the generosity of a tissue donor, my life was back on track. In no time at all, I began training- on the advice of my doctor, I was going to rollerblade a marathon not run one. I completed 26.2 miles on inline skates, and also gave birth to sons Spencer and Cooper, who I can now carry without pain. I was given a gift to regain control of my life and begin again.
