Channing Cash: Team USA Para-rower from Laos
Manage episode 349033746 series 3423752
Channing Cash was born in a small village in Laos where at three years old she was attacked by a bull that had escaped from its pasture. The attack left Channing unable to walk and was the catalyst behind her parent’s immigration to America as they sought better medical care and quality of life for their daughter. Upon graduation from high school in Rockford, Illinois, Channing built a career as a mortgage professional and became known as the go to person for achieving the American dream of home ownership among Rockford’s large Lao community. One day, Channing hit the reset button on her life and walked away from the corporate world. She relocated to Southern California to enjoy the outdoors and pursue her newly found passion for water sports. As a member of the United States Para-Rowing team she took a shot at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Channing is living her life to the fullest and advocates for accessibility in national parks and the great outdoors for those with disabilities.
