Finding Strength: Linda Segundo

“Sixty’s just a number. ... You can do anything - it’s possible.”
Step into Episode 7 of Hear Their Stories and meet Linda and Tony Segundo. Linda, 61, started CrossFit to stay strong enough to care for her 34-year-old son, Tony, who was born with frontoparietal arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Together, they’ve taken on half marathons and 5Ks, with Linda pushing Tony’s wheelchair.
When lifting Tony became more challenging, a friend suggested CrossFit. She joined CrossFit Groundbreakers in McAllen, Texas, and now, Linda can lift him with ease and even do a handstand - proving that “60’s just a number.”

I just got my mom to the finish line at 88 and twenty years earlier, I got my dad to 82. Over thirty years of caregiving and I am 57. You and Tony and your husband are CHAMPIONS, Linda!!!! ❤️ You have inspired me SO much! Thank-you ❤ I am now able to focus solely on "me" and my health since I was never blessed with children. Unconditional love says nothing is impossible!!!!!! Love that!!! Running with 125 pounds in front of you is like doing the Marine gauntlet with a pack on your back!!! You are an amazing mom and you both are here to teach us ALL. Thank-you ❤ for sharing your story. I love Kachava ( it has vitamins, minerals, adaptagens and greens all in one drink and tastes great just mixed with water) and bioidentical hormones for you might help your energy and muscle recovery and endurance as we age. I also love Kate Farms nutrition shakes for on the go or appointments. My mom and I loved them. They have three flavors and you can just throw in your purse for you and Tony for doctor appointment waits or car travel to marathons!!!! My mom's hair and nails grew so fast on them and both Kachava and Kate Farms are non GMO and meal replacement if you have an extra busy day. Kate was starving to death on standard formula and required tube feeding with cerebral palsy so HER parents invented Kate Farms. Like Tony, she was not expected to thrive and she is almost 18 now!!!! I am Type One diabetic so I used to push my 200 pound mom in the wheelchair everywhere and I used Kate Shakes if I had blood sugar lows as a healthy alternative to gingerale. They both taste great at room temperature unlike some protein shakes that are gross! Also, to supplement mom's nutrition and an easier way than tablets to get vitamins into her!!! We are strong!!! 💪 I'd like to see the young kids at the gym caregive for ONE 24 hour day and do ONE marathon pushing Tony let alone for 34 years!!!!! You are a true Badass!!!!! ( Excuse my language..lol) God bless your daughter, husband, you and Tony ❤ May all your lives continue to be richly blessed!!!! ❤
