Hi, I’m Mary Margaret! I am mom, swimmer, and a cyclist. Growing up, sports were my lifeline. Whether it was swimming laps or exploring on my bike, being active taught me resilience, teamwork, and confidence. It gave me the tools to face life’s challenges, big and small, and helped shape who I am today.
Now, as a mom to my 5 year old son, John Henry, I want to pass on those lessons - not just to him but to kids everywhere. I know how hard it can be to navigate life’s twists and turns, and I also know how much having the right opportunities can mean for a child. Giving kids the chance to move, play, and grow is incredibly important to me. That’s why Ned Gravel has partnered with Peak to Peak, a program dedicated to giving kids access to life-changing sports opportunities.
