Spirit B

“In the early stages of my pregnancy, I was intrigued and ready for the changes that would take place,” says Chelsey Magness. “As an athlete, I expected body image and performance challenges. I expected exhaustion. I expected attachment issues to my newborn twins. I never expected what was actually to come.”

Chelsey and her husband Jason have built unique lives as professional adventure racers and partner acrobatics and slacklining instructors–among other things. When unimaginable tragedy struck their family, they came up with a unique way to move through their grief.
