A Purpose Driven
Trisha's brother, Ryan was very driven. He was an epic adventure cyclist, a top athlete in mountain biking, fueling guru, and author of two published books, A Purpose Ridden and Bikepacking in the Canadian Rockies. The name Driven Lactation is an acknowledgment to Ryan's character -strength of body and mind, perseverance, and overcoming obstacles. Losing Ryan to cancer continues to drive Trisha to breastfeed for her health and for the health and well being of her youngest child. Supporting her children with the optimal nutrition and setting the optimal foundation for their health is something that gives Trisha comfort as a parent.
