Sister teams are the best! We have been having adventures together since we were kids – from motor-cross riding to sailing adventures in the Caribbean.
Char has helped me prep and practice for the rally the past two years; so she was the natural choice to substitute for Pat Nolan when she withdrew at the last minute due to the second hurricane hitting her community within a couple of weeks.
As usual, Charlene is the spicy one and definitely doing a cannonball into the deep end!

The 2023 Rally hooked me! The Rally provides a challenging environment and the camaraderie of amazing people.
People taking on difficult challenges and pushing themselves beyond their own expectations. From my first rally in 2023 and throughout training in 2024, I have been inspired by the courage of Rebelle Rally competitors, the innovation of the Rally leadership team, and the dedication of the Rally staff in so many ways. Competitors challenge themselves to go beyond their physical, mental, and emotional limits; staff always right there when you need a smile and encouragement; and rally leadership designing a course to challenge all competitors.

The Long Way by Bernard Moitessier
I have been fortunate to experience many different adventures - motorcycle off-road travel, mountaineering, many sailing regattas with my friend Pat Nolan, sailboat deliveries in the Atlantic Ocean, and the Rebelle Rally. Every day is an opportunity for adventure.

Char was a part of her high school archery team, and made it to State!
As Peg’s original teammate was cleaning up in her community from the devastation of Helene, as Milton, another CAT 3 hurricane began barreling toward her home. I was asked to step in and take her place, and immediately said yes. I’m excellent in a stressful environment, and after doing foster care for 15 years, I know how to pivot on a dime and juggle whatever is thrown at me with creativity and composure.
My two sisters, Peg and Paula, inspire me. Peg is a brave, bold woman who has never let self-doubt stop her from trying something new. Paula is a resilient woman who has overcome adversity in life and continues to change and grow.
