Cindy and Beth shared years of unexpected adventures after a car accident in May of 2000 when Beth was 14 years old. Beth loved the freedom of movement during water therapy, when it was difficult to push her manual chair on land. She was not a swimmer before her accident.
Beth was the first in her family to attend college out of state and to graduate from an Ivy League college.
Beth set a new S3 American Record at the Beijing Paralympics. She retired from competition with 14 American Records and one Pan-American Record.
Cindy and her husband John raised three children in Tiffin, Ohio. Now, they live near Boston. Their "kids" (and one grandchild) live in Boston, Baltimore, and Washington, DC.
