Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

As a three-time Paralympic gold medalist and five-time World Champion in snowboarding, I’m thrilled to share my journey and mindset with you. My path has been filled with challenges and triumphs, and I believe in embracing every moment along the way.

I'm Brenna Huckaby

My story begins...

...in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where I grew up as a nationally ranked gymnast. Life took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma at 14, leading to the amputation of my right leg. This was a significant challenge, but it also set me on a new path. I discovered snowboarding at 15 and quickly fell in love with it. The balance and thrill reminded me of my gymnastics days, and it wasn’t long before I moved to Utah to pursue my new passion.



Snowboarding wasn’t just a sport for me—it was a lifeline. It gave me a sense of freedom and a way to reconnect with my athletic self. I started competing and soon found myself on the national team, winning my first World Championship just two years after picking up the sport. My Paralympic debut at the 2018 Winter Games in PyeongChang was a dream come true, where I won gold in both snowboard cross and banked slalom​.



Beyond the medals, my mission is to advocate for disability inclusion and representation. Leading up to the 2022 Paralympics, I fought for and won the right to compete in events that were initially limited to less impaired athletes. This fight wasn’t just for me but for all athletes striving for fair representation​​.

I'm also a proud mom of two beautiful daughters, Lilah and Sloan. Balancing motherhood and professional sports is no easy feat, but it has taught me the importance of mental wellness and self-care. I believe true happiness comes from enjoying the journey, not just reaching the destination. Whether it’s through a tough training session or a quiet moment with a good book and kombucha, I strive to find joy and balance in every aspect of life.

I had worked tirelessly for six years, sacrificing precious moments with my daughter in the belief that success was supposed to look this way.

I thought that my Paralympic gold medals would give me the self-fulfillment, self-love, and sense of worth that I so desperately needed, but newsflash: they didn't.

 I was left feeling depressed, anxious, and unhappy, realizing that this way of living was unsustainable.

Four years ago, despite standing on top of the podium after winning my first Paralympic Games in 2018, I hit rock bottom.
