Learn About Trish Downing

Trish DowningIn one instant, on September 17, 2000, Tricia Downing went from competitive cyclist to a paraplegic and full-time wheelchair user. Her life was changed forever, but Tricia’s competitive spirit and zest for life continued on.

Through her experiences in both rehab and racing, Tricia has overcome adversity and learned what it takes to perform at the top of her game. Now as a world-class physically challenged triathlete, Tricia travels the globe racing and sharing her message of strength and perseverance. Redefining Able.

As an Iron distance triathlon (2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, 26.2-mile run) finisher, Tricia knows that life is an endurance sport.

As a result, Tricia and CAF have created Camp Discovery to help other women, affected by injury or disease, to reinvent themselves and find joy following a new path. Camp Discovery is your opportunity to spend time developing your mind, body and spirit connection, so that you too can Redefine Able.
