To those who create and those who explore, seeing possibilities where most see only limitations—you inspire me.
To my family, whose support was all that kept me going at times. Specifically, my mom, Debra; my sister, Rachel; and my children, Shyla and Hayes.
To my agent, Andrea, who fought to find an editor who would understand that freerunning is a subject worthy of attention and never gave up. Thank you!
To my editor Ellen, who simply gets me. You bring out the best in me. It’s a pleasure!
To the few who have touched me deeply by performing simple acts of kindness without reason. Sharon and Randy—two people who deserve recognition.
And lastly, a special dedication to my best friend from school gone way too soon: April. You are sorely, sorely missed.
