When Cate Green was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, life as she knew it began to unravel. Her once-active body became unreliable, her independence slipped away, and fear crept in. The most terrifying moment came one morning at exactly 2:33 am, when she woke to find herself suddenly paralysed-unable to move her limbs, gripped by confusion, panic, and an overwhelming sense of loss. It marked the beginning of a gruelling journey of rehabilitation, grief, and gradual rebuilding. But Cate has never been one to back down from a challenge.

Produktbeschreibung
When Cate Green was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, life as she knew it began to unravel. Her once-active body became unreliable, her independence slipped away, and fear crept in. The most terrifying moment came one morning at exactly 2:33 am, when she woke to find herself suddenly paralysed-unable to move her limbs, gripped by confusion, panic, and an overwhelming sense of loss. It marked the beginning of a gruelling journey of rehabilitation, grief, and gradual rebuilding. But Cate has never been one to back down from a challenge. Rather than surrender to her diagnosis, she chose to do something radical: to ride. Not just around the block or to reclaim a bit of strength-but to cycle solo across the entire state of Victoria. With her trusty bike Sheeba, Cate set off to reconnect with her body, her spirit, and the world around her, one pedal stroke at a time. Vic Ride is part memoir, part travelogue, and all heart. Through open country roads, coastal winds, and hill climbs that tested her limits, Cate brings us along for every high and low. She documents the raw reality of living with an invisible disability-the physical setbacks, emotional breakdowns, moments of beauty and connection, and the inner battle to keep showing up even when everything hurts. But this is not just a book about cycling. It's about learning to trust your body again when it has betrayed you. It's about embracing the unpredictable nature of chronic illness with courage and curiosity. It's about redefining strength-not as pushing through at all costs, but as knowing when to rest, when to persist, and how to keep going, even if the path looks nothing like you imagined. Along the way, Cate discovers the unexpected kindness of strangers, the healing power of solitude, and the unbreakable thread of community that holds her-often when she doesn't even realise she needs it. With humour, fierce honesty, and soul-deep insight, she shows that grace often finds us in the messy middle of things: on wind-blown hillsides, in quiet country towns, and in the quiet triumph of just getting back on the bike. Vic Ride is an unforgettable journey through pain, purpose, and personal growth. It's for anyone who's ever felt broken, lost, or limited by circumstance-and anyone who's dared to dream of something more. Cate's story is proof that when life knocks you sideways, you don't have to stay down. Sometimes, the road back to yourself is paved with two wheels, a lot of grit, and an unshakable belief that your story isn't over yet.
Autorenporträt
Cate Green is a cyclist, adventurer, business coach, and chronic illness advocate whose story is one of resilience, reinvention, and radical self-belief.Her journey hasn't followed a straight path-in fact, it's been full of detours, steep climbs, and unexpected challenges-but she's found purpose and passion in places she never imagined.After receiving a life-changing diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, Cate's once-active body began behaving in unpredictable ways. Navigating the grief of lost abilities, a shifting identity, and the overwhelming uncertainty of her new normal was confronting and isolating.But Cate has never been one to stay down for long.She slowly reconnected with her first love-cycling. Short neighbourhood rides became her therapy, and as her strength returned, so did her fire. She soon set a bold goal: cycling across Vietnam. It wasn't just a trip; it was a declaration that her life-and her body-still held power and possibility.Since then, Cate has become known for setting big, audacious goals. Her current mission: to ride around the entire continent of Australia. It's a monumental challenge, but she's not just doing it for herself. She's riding to raise awareness, spark conversations, and champion the rights of chronically ill and disabled people to live bold, vibrant lives.Beyond the bike, Cate is a passionate business coach working with women and non-binary people living with chronic illness or disability. She helps clients build sustainable, values-aligned businesses that honour their bodies, energy, and lived experience. Her work is grounded in radical acceptance, compassionate boundaries, and redefining success outside of hustle culture.Cate also believes deeply in the power of storytelling. She shares the real, raw truth of living with MS-not to inspire or shock, but to connect. Her advocacy lives in the messy middle: the flare-ups and finish lines, the rest days and record-breaking rides. Her openness creates community, and her honesty helps shift narratives that often ignore or oversimplify the disabled experience.Whether she's on the road, coaching clients, or posting a vulnerable update, Cate brings humour, grit, and heart. She lives with curiosity and courage, learning daily how to navigate life in a body that doesn't always cooperate-but never stops dreaming.Cate's story is a powerful reminder that diagnosis isn't the end-it's a different kind of beginning. Through her rides, coaching, and advocacy, she's carving out space for others to live full, joyful, ambitious lives on their own terms.
