This book was also written to help those who haven’t experienced trauma gain empathy for what it is like to be a traffic victim, to wake up in the hospital with serious injuries, or have mental health concerns. And finally, my story had to be written down because it is a reminder that every life on the road matters and we must continue as a society to pay attention to the people who surround us. While I started with writing blogs, the book quickly became the medium with which to share my story. Trauma and adversity, if taken as a source of growth, can make people strong, resilient, and wise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f283ac47bb012024361b2b5/1599336380339-QXP75QQ2YUNIRFUMZMDB/Adelaide_Review_08062020-4.jpg Adelaide - About Adelaide Adelaide grew up outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and spent her childhood on the local swim team. Upon graduating high school, she went to college at the United States Coast Guard Academy where she studied civil engineering. After a year as an ensign assigned to the USCGC Dallas in Charleston, SC, Adelaide was honorably discharged from the Coast Guard because she was struggling to adapt to life underway due to her undiagnosed bipolar disorder. In 2010 Adelaide and her older sister, Lydia, completed a bike tour from Charleston to Louisiana. After their month on the road, Adelaide and Lydia moved to Boulder, Colorado. In 2012 Adelaide was finally diagnosed with bipolar II. The diagnosis eventually helped her to lead a more stable life. That fall she met her husband Kennett. He bought Adelaide her first road bike and taught her all about bike racing. After her first and last season of bike racing in 2014, Adelaide decided to train for an iron-distance triathlon in November. On October 18th, 2014 Adelaide was in a crash that would change her life: she went through the driver’s side window of a car that pulled in front of her, suffering injuries that almost killed her and emotional trauma that would continue to haunt her for years to come. After an arduous recovery, she returned to riding and two and a half years later qualified to become a professional triathlete. She is an advocate for cyclists’ safety and strives to help others who have suffered life-threatening crashes. She is currently writing a book about her experience. Adelaide lives in Boulder, Colorado with her husband, Kennett, and their dog Maybellene. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f283ac47bb012024361b2b5/1599666498079-JR2NBXJ8PGGHKJ9F1CP0/A-Week-into-Hospital-Stay.jpg Adelaide All the wires I had to consider before putting on my own tank top. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f283ac47bb012024361b2b5/1599666496631-6F2761UCTTNM2TBK2BWX/First-Day-Home.jpg Adelaide First afternoon home from the hospital.

I never set out to be an author, but in 2014, while training for a triathlon, I was hit by a driver who was in a rush. I saw how sharing my recovery through my blog helped others feel less alone in their trauma and realized I needed to continue writing. My goal is to help those who are going through a difficult time feel less alone in their struggle and to build empathy and awareness for people who have never dealt with a crash or trauma before. https://www.adelaideperr.com/book daily 0.75 2020-12-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f283ac47bb012024361b2b5/1599672843726-5AVDKUGYAZ8KZZSEEZ2L/img-book.jpg Book - Available Now When the red Fiat pulled out in front of Adelaide, she squeezed her bike’s brakes so hard that she left 50 feet of skid marks along the highway. The last thing she remembers is being lifted into the ambulance and someone saying, “Her face is peeled off.” She spent five days in a medically-induced coma, during which surgeons picked glass from her face, reconstructed bones and inserted a stomach tube. She spent another six days unable to talk, at times gasping for air, enduring leech treatments to keep her necrotizing lip alive, and fearing a crippling bipolar episode. Without knowing what neurological damage or permanent disfigurement she’d be left with, her boyfriend Kennett proposed to Adelaide daily in the hospital, until she became conscious. But her recovery would extend far beyond the hospital and the visible physical injuries. https://www.adelaideperr.com/press daily 0.75 2021-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f283ac47bb012024361b2b5/1599755864318-Y02LHPPCQ7K2J2NDS2QY/press-Kennett.jpg Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f283ac47bb012024361b2b5/1599755876422-6XADA3B48KYJYJECUTZP/press-ColoradoPolitics.jpg Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f283ac47bb012024361b2b5/1599755903075-KE7JDN0XCC7MWNW6UWY7/press-EnduranceWorks.jpg Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f283ac47bb012024361b2b5/1599755921923-RPY5QX8PTVLXNB33JC08/press-DrunkCyclist.jpg Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f283ac47bb012024361b2b5/1615411697242-8T5JEJY9G700VYZQCMZW/DP.png Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f283ac47bb012024361b2b5/1599755838597-2ES2KY3J0AX3UD5P7KOO/press-Outside.jpg Press
