Amazing Race Q&A

Favourite hobbies
Running, hiking, scrapbooking and learning foreign languages

Achievements
Choosing life when faced with an unplanned pregnancy. More recently, raising a big family.

Lifelong to do list
Skydive, bungee jump and get a diver's certification. I'm definitely having a midlife crisis.

What scares you most about traveling?
The fear that something bad will happen while I'm abroad and it will be hard for me to get to my family.

What excites you most about traveling?
Being somewhere totally out of my comfort zone.

If I could switch places with someone
A younger version of myself. I would love to have a do-over knowing what I know now.

Role model/hero
My husband, Joe, because his strength of character never wavers. He inspires me to be the best person I can be.

What are you passionate about?
My kids! I love every part of being their mother.

What would you do if you won the million dollars?
I would give at least 10 percent to my children's school and to the Muscular Dystrophy Association to help kids like my sweet nephew, Mateo. The rest would go to raising and education my children.

People would be surprised to learn
I am an at-home mom of 10 children, ages 18 months to 18 years.

Favourite place you have ever visited
I visited Rome, Italy when I was 23 years-old.

Biggest challenge you and your teammate will face on the Race together
Experiencing all the stresses the other teams are facing, with the added stress that we've only just met and are still getting to know each other.

What do you hope to accomplish by running the Race (other then winning one million bucks)?
I want to get to know this person I brought into the world. I feel the opportunity of being together 24/7 for a while on the Race would give us the chance to know each other in a deeper way than we would if we met under normal circumstances.

Pet peeve about your teammate
I don't know her well enough to have a pet peeve yet!
