From Local Trails to a National Movement...
What if one bike ride could spark a lifelong sense of confidence and create ripple effects across schools, families, and entire communities?
In this episode of Prescribing Possibility, you’ll meet Anna Laloë founder of Shredders MTB - Youth Mountain Bike Club, and Marcella Hammer, the organization’s Board Chair. Together, they’re on a mission to do more than just teach kids how to ride bikes, they’re using movement as a vehicle for empowerment, inclusion, and personal growth.
What began as a small, girls-only mountain biking group in upstate New York has since evolved into a multi-regional, co-ed initiative that’s bringing biking into schools, communities, and the lives of young people who might never have had access to it otherwise.
Whether you’re a parent, educator, community leader or someone who simply believes in the power of sport to shape lives, this episode will remind you just how far one passionate idea can go.

Dr. Thompson is an exquisite story-teller - so do yourself a favor and grab a copy of HELD TOGETHER: A SHARED MEMOIR OF MOTHERHOOD, MEDICINE, AND IMPERFECT LOVE at your local Indie bookstore - or you can find it wherever books are sold.
