<div>Thuy Do - Athlete Biography
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Thuy was born and raised in Ottawa and has lived here her whole life. At the age of fifteen,
</div>

<div>Thuy required brain surgery for a condition called Arteriovenous Malformations. On the table
</div>

<div>she had massive stroke due to complications. The stroke caused paralysis, and doctors
</div>

<div>didn’t know if she could walk or even talk again. However, with a lot of physio and
</div>

<div>rehabilitation and even more determination, Thuy regained all those capacities and adapted.
</div>

<div>Thuy will always struggle with hemiparesis on her right side, and battles depression which
</div>

<div>is likely a consequence of the ways her brain was injured by the stroke.
</div>

<div>Thuy is unable to ride a regular bicycle, so almost a decade ago her family purchased her a
</div>

<div>Catrike recumbent trike. She fell in love with the Catrike, riding so much that it became her
</div>

<div>main source of transportation. Most months of the year – sun, rain, heat, cold – Thuy can be
</div>

<div>found riding the streets of Ottawa doing her errands, the errands of others, and just plain
</div>

<div>cycling! This has become an essential part of her emotional and physical health. The trike
</div>

<div>helps to strengthen her core, improve her mood, boost her spirits and expand her social
</div>

<div>network. This social network has allowed her to more fully recover her speech, and she is
</div>

<div>known and loved for her radiant smile and ready laugh. Thuy says “biking is breathing for
</div>

<div>me”.
</div>

<div>Cycling is freedom, and it is motivation to do something more. So in 2019, she wanted to see
</div>

<div>what options there were in the world of para-cycling. This is a new chapter. A year ago, Thuy
</div>

<div>took on the road trike and started training in an entirely different way, biking long hours with
</div>

<div>a training regimen. In recent camps in Bromont and North Bay, she improved her hill
</div>

<div>climbing and cornering. She is up to the challenge!
