Fergus, Ontario

Canada

My name is Leah Dube , I am a 39 year old woman who loves life and makes the best of each moment. I am the mother of three children diagnosed on the autism spectrum and needless to say, they keep me very busy. My life has become so consumed by my children and their needs that I tend to forget about who I am and what I need as a woman and an individual person. I have taken up this wonderful sport to do something for myself, to give me a personal goal and to help me and feel alive again..
\ I started last year by taking the Fergus Highland School and then attended my first competition which was the Highlands of Durham Games.
\ Since then I have competed in five additional games with great enjoyment and have met wonderful people along the way.
\ My favorite events are the Sheaf Toss and Hammer Throw but am striving to excel at all the events in total. I am looking forward to pursuing this sport as it has given me an opportunity to find myself.
